About Me

Graham and Chris come from Redcar, Michael comes from Edinburgh, Andy is from Leeds. Three live in Gateshead, one lives in Newcastle. We all play in The Opportunists.Our music is about stuff that matters to us - having a good time and trying our best to make bad things better.We could write a load of shite about how we came together, what our favourite drink is and where we go shopping but that's irrelevant. Just listen. Indierocknrolldancesoulbluespunkpop might just about cover it. Ladies and gentlemen, The Opportunists have knocked. It would be rude to ignore us.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
