Bio
Ian Vallin Bass player / songwriter member of 2 Bristol based projects .Rival Attraction formed from core members of the Sam Howard Band (Portishead based female singer/guitarist/ tunesmith ) back in 1984. Richard Bloom Talented guitarist / vocalist / songwriter / solo performer. Andrew Allpass keyboard player / songwriter / music arranger. Michael Hoddinott Drummer / percussionist. Ian Vallin bass player / song writer. Three songwriters in the band loads of ideas and a chance to work together on another original musical project. We are lucky to have the very talented Steve Hacking on Sax from Saffron Monkey. jazz Fusionists from the seaside somewhere near Bristol. different but complimentry styles fused together to make a band playing some original music at a local level in Bristol. The band managed to build a local following in Bristol over a period of two years but alas split around 1986 to persue other musical ventures. The band are back together after 20 years .
