Band Members:
Gavin Firth.... ....Guitar....
With a truly original style, Gavin has been an inspiration
for many other Orcadian guitarists. His imaginative
progressions are a huge part of the Lazy Boy sound.
Can also be seen.... at the baked bean stand in somerfield. ....Fionn McArthur.... ....Fiddle....
Fionn is an exciting and versitile player. Taught by the
great Angus Grant Snr, he is one of the first graduates of
the RSAMD traditional music course.
Can also be seen.... in mid flight, wielding a shoe! ....Bob Gibbon.... ....Accordion....
Having developed a style owing more to playing with
fiddlers than accordionists, Bob has become an integral
part of the band who also writes some great tunes.
Can also be seen.... Burning pianos on a Sunday. ....Brian Cromarty.... ....Banjo & Vocals....
Originally a guitarist, he is now as likely to be seen with a
mandolin or banjo in hand. He is one half of Saltfishforty
along with Douglas.
Can also be seen.... outside the blacksmith's, listening for
the perfect "clank" sound. ....Chas Milne.... ....Bass Guitar....
Another highly respected musician, Chas has played with
various Orkney bands over the years, and also plays with
local band Hivida. Although, he insists he lives for "the chair"
Can also be seen.... in a popular duo, with his pal Dave. ....Erik Laughton.... ....Drums....
His energetic, but controlled drumming keeping the
whole sound together. Erik is in high demand as a
session musician playing bodhran and other percussion
on several highly acclaimed albums.
Can also be seen.... in a quiet corner, composing limericks. ....Douglas Montgomery.... ....Fiddle & Mandolin
Douglas has played fiddle with many Orkney bands
including Saltfishforty and The Smoking Stone Band.
His improvisational skills make him stand out as an
exceptional musician.

kebab shops of Burray. ....Robbie Thomson.... ....Percussion
From a rock background, Robbie has been a drummer
with various local Orkney bands. His rythmic skills have
been made use of in LBC, playing congas, djembe,
shakers and more recently, triangle!

the latest Muppet movie!
