Crazy 8 Golfers

About Me

Crazy 8 Golfers started off with Brian, Gerry and Neil trying to play 'Lazy Sunday' and deciding that making a mess of songs that no-one has heard before was probably less embarrasing. Frank joined cuz none of the three of us had any sense of timing. as it turns out, neither does he. Then came the debut gig (June 3rd 2005 at the Victorian Suite fact fans!), which Neil bottled out of. Then John joined for a while (well, just over a year), but he's left and we brought back Neil, who swore he'd had a bottle transplant. We never got to find out though cuz he only lasted a few weeks before bowing out again. Now we have a new Neil. He's a student at James Watt College and can make his guitar scream pretty good. He's fitting in well and adding to the sound in a way we all like, so here's to the future!
