Band Members: STEPHEN JOLLIE plays rhythm guitar and sings. He also writes most of the band's songs. GEORGE WATSON plays his vintage red Fender Mustang rather well and also sings when the occasion befits him! BARRY McAVOY likes to make as much noise as possible with his bass, he also sings and always has the loudest microphone at rehearsals. He also bears a striking resemblance to a young Burt Reynolds! DEREK McKEE has no mics but doesn't need them as he plays drums, he was the "baby" of the band until BARRY joined and he resents him for this! Personally invited collaborators include BRAD CUNNINGHAM (Adventures In Stereo), MORAG BROWN (The Most, Adventures In Stereo) & MR HARRY TRAVERS Esq. (HIPSWAY). We are always on the look-out for talented and interesting people to work with. If you think you fit the bill, "COME AHEAD!!"
