About Me

Glenn Prangnell. Cos that's my name. I used to play in bands but I'm alright now. Those band's were The Offbeats (1983-87), The Kravin' A's (1987-91), Goodchilde (1992-98). Also played in Johnny And The Bandits from 1989 and we occassionally still play. GROOVY UNCLE is a project I've been working on since 1999. It started out as a three piece (with Darryl Hartley and Allan Crockford). Now it is a solo effort. GROOVY UNCLE has never played live and quite possibly never will. But never say never....which is wrong as I have now said it four times. I promise never to say it again. Sod it!
