The Alex Dingley Band are a 5 piece who worked together on the top floor of the same crummy office block before the smoking ban and a stormy night brought them together beneath a window ledge in Cardiff central. Although Jinx and Swci don't smoke they enjoy the camaraderie that perfect strangers can find beneath a dripping lentil. Nigel has since given up but still yearns for the death stick. Alex has pretended to quit as an early April fools joke. Rhys entertains himself by asking passers by to 'pull his finger'. They now live and play together in the South Wales area and are presently gigging the album 'I Lost My Honey In The Grass'.'I Lost My Honey In The Grass is available at: Spillers Records Cardiff or online at www.kimberleyrecords.co.uk
