These timeless creations are re-interpreted with electro-acoustic guitars, bass & drums, while being true to the energetic power and passion of the originals.ACOUSTIC WHO - PLUGGED can operate as a guitar & vocal mesmerising 2-piece, or a stunning 3-piece with added drums or bass. But when the full 4-piece band play, you will experience the ACOUSTIC WHO - PLUGGED in all their sensational glory....

Band Members: PETE REEVE (Dodgy Poultry) - Vocals A legend in his own lunchbox, Pete is a well-known music promoter who just happens to possess a fantastic rock voice and a stage-presence oozing with charisma.MARK ORMISTON (Sweet Townshend) - GUITARS Six-string, twelve-string and nylon-strung guitars are part of Mark's assault on the senses. His guitars are treated to tough love......he sure plays a mean windmill !MIKE HATTON (Detox) - BASS Mike is a seriously talented musician, one of the few able to cope with John Entwistle's jaw-dropping bass-lines and add his own 5-string pyrotechnics.ANDY WHEELER (Full Moon) - DRUMS / PERCUSSION The hardest working man in showbiz! Andy's enthusiasm for all things WHO is matched by his uncanny ability to recreate the technically-daunting authentic Keith Moon sound.
Influences: Errrrrrrrr, tough one this, how about THE WHO!
