Band Members:
Al Catton (mandolin/guitar) - finally, The Cat finds a vehicle through which he is able to bestow his full range of talents onto a grateful world, and he does this by virtue of the folky/celtic stamp he leaves on every song that is fortunate enough fall into his hands. The down-side is that he finds himself having to revive songs by the likes of Britney Spears and Mary Hopkins. You can't have everything, Al.

Dave "Spud" Jordan (drums) - the most recent addition to The Peasants' line-up, Spud does some astonishing things with a minimal kit and he has taken the band's energy and power onto a new level. He once featured in the Guiness Book of World Records for being a member of 137 bands simultaneously, although he has recently wound down his workload, rationing himself these days to just 12 gigs per week.

Mark Pollard (vocals/crap jokes/really crap jokes/choreography) - currently struggling to master the art of "playing" a tambourine and singing at the same time, this ambitious project may soon be abandoned in favour of some basic dance moves. For a very long time Mark laboured under the misunderstanding that Spinal Tap were a real band, liking them enough to spend almost 15 years seeking out their seminal "Smell The Glove" album. Finding it difficult to accept that they never really existed, he still refers to any piece of technical equipment as "the Dobly switch".

We've had so many bloody changes of personnel in recent weeks that we haven't managed to cobble anything together for these two yet. Moreover, we'll just wait and see if they stay in the fcuking band before going to the lengths of doing biogs for 'em! But for the time being, they are:

Paul Stephenson (guitars, backing vocals) -

Gus Ridley (bass/backing vocals) -

Good luck, lads........
