Outsider

About Me

Outsider are a three piece Heavy Rock band based near Bristol.Andy Sayers Lead Guitar & VocalsNeil Phillips DrumsAlex Price Bass GuitarOutsider are comfortable playing a complete set of their own material at show case gigs such as the Fleece and Firkin or Louisiana, but can also play a full set of covers for pub gigs. More often than not, however, the set is made up of a mixture of both covers and originals.Covers played include songs by Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy, UFO, ZZ Top, Diamond Head, Metallica, Motorhead, Free, Alice in Chains, Cream, etc…………………….The bands set can therefore be varied to suit the venue/audience.The band was formed in January 1998. The original line up included Andy Sayers (Lead Guitar & Vocals), Keith Townsend (Drums) and fellow founder member Andy (Jock) Jamieson (Lead Guitar). They were joined by Dave Williams on Bass Guitar in September 1998, some 4 weeks before their first gig.Various changes were made to the line up of the band throughout the period from 2000 to 2002 with both Terry Anderson (Guitar) and Pete Brierton (Bass) helping to keep the band going. In March 2002 Neil Phillips (Drums) and Dan Cable (Guitar) joined the band. Dave Werrett (Bass Guitar) joined in May 2003, just two weeks before his debut gig.Very recently there have been some major changes to the line up, as announced in the News section of this web site.The band are looking forward to what looks like another very busy period of gigging throughout the rest of 2007 and plans are being made for the recording of a new album towards the end of the year.
