Pete Bousfield- great safe guy, probably seen as the prodigerial son of the guitaring world, he could be one of the best watch him as he makes 16 minutes, playes harmonica and sings above his other talents
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A NEW BASS PLAYER.EMAIL IF YA FANCY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom (turning point) Whittaker- amazing drummer and percussionist, eats his drums for lunch and dinner- been there from the start and comes up with the most shit hot drum riffs ya can know
Adam Peart- adam is the newest member of 16 minutes but has easily fitted in with the guys, amazing singing voice and is like the others an integral part of 16 minutes, great keyboard player and without him 16 minutes wouldnt be 16 minutes

We cant list all of our influences and what we like coz pete loves all 60's nd 70's music.HIPPIE!
we are 16 minutes
we are from north east in a little town called Barnard castle.... music scene.... theres the TCR that has supported and helped us along the way and the black horse witch seems to hold a few gigs now and then.
Weve only been playing together as a band for a year and a half now, and debuted at the big live christmas gig.
although playing covers we are trying to bring back the old school rock, bring back the good old days.
luckily we have had our chances and taken them now being one of the top bands in the local area.
We play not for money, girls or any of that other crap, we play for the love of music, we play because we love what we doing when we are on the stage. (although a few £££ does help along the way)
we want to bring back the best music, and we want everybody to join in the revolution.
come to our gigs, buy our cd's and wear our t-shirts with pride.
bring back rock!!!!!!!!
t-shirts-£5,
CD's -£5,
email fender16@hotmail.co.uk for more details about buying CD's or T-shirts, as well as directions and details about gigs and upcoming events
sorry guys I aint organising this one, just advertising. Tryin to get a venue sorted for a rock night but it's gonna be over a month away. I'll let you know when i've got a date confirmed. If you need any designs doing in the meantime don't hesitate to give me a shout.
That sounds like the way forward like, we played a gig up here called chain bridge honey farm and there was a few hundred people there in a big marquee but that's probably our biggest crowd. lol
We've managed to get a gig in a local pub on Feb 8th sharin with another local band but otherwise it's pretty much like you guys, private parties and stuff.
If you find the right sort of pubs the stuff you're playing should go down a treat - they're probably just a bit unsure when you aproach them cos ur young - send them a cd instead and let them get in touch, see if that works.
hey lads, thanks for your coments. We've been 2getha since about Feb 07 but I was working for a covers band for 6 months so we didn't do anything during that time. Just getting going again now.
I found you's when I done a search for rock bands in the North East - I actually took ages looking at profiles and listening to everyones stuff, I didn't wanna be a myspace whore and just invite anyone. lol.
So you guys managing to get many gigs? We're just trying to pick up suport slots at the mo.
