BIO OF THE BAND......
DANNY MERRIMAN -
(bass guitar/vocals).
Danny fuses together a unique mixture of rock blues and funk in a way that separates him from Mr. average-Joe bass player and puts him in league with the elite few. Heavily influenced by level 42s mark king, Danny started playing in his hometown Nottingham with local reggae and funk bands –Juice (‘real love’) the groove foundation (‘sooner or later’) and began to develop his awesome bass thump style,
Similar to the likes of Stanley Clarke, Marcus miller and of course mark king.
Was a founder member of notts Christian rock band Freakshow(‘superhero’)
And after years of playing the circuit Danny has become a popular sought after and respected bass player.
Recent bands he has played with are the level 42ers (‘level 42 tribute band’) and the Feel, Bognor regis based respected rock band.-------------------------------------------------------
-----CLIVE GRAY -
(Gu itar/vocals). Clive Gray learnt his first chords from his grandmother at the age of 9, but soon followed (and saw live) his teenage idols: Jimi Hendrix, Jimmi Page, Rory Gallagher, and Eric Clapton. After studying music in Germany, he played with Carolyne Mas ('sittin' in the dark') Johny Tame ('Sand in my shoes'), and produced various bands such as Carolyne Mas, The Brandos, Dave Goodman etc. Moving from music producer to film producer, he stopped playing professionally. Now working for a charity in the UK, 'Dark Horse' is where he can be loud again under the motto: If we're too loud, you're too old.--------------------------------------------------------

----SHORT CLIP OF THE BAND PLAYING AT THE WHITE HORSE BOGNOR JAN 18TH 08
· The idea for a cream tribute band, as Danny puts it was, “ I’ve always dreamt about being in a super band, especially one like cream where each band member gets to really play their instruments well.â€
· And so after eight drummers and two guitarists, ‘creme-on!’ was born. The original name for the band. Other close contenders for the name were ‘natural cream’,’ cream again’ and ‘clap-cream’ ’whiteroom was the name we ended up with ’
· All three members are ardent fans of Clapton and the cream and unlike the original band, they get on really well together respecting one another’s special talents as they go along
· An exciting time for them as they get better and better all the time creating a hard act to follow.
· Welcome to the Whiteroom .
