   About Curzon Circle

WE RARELY PUT IN FRIENDS REQUESTS 'CAUSE IT PISSES EVERYONE OFF. IF WE'VE REQESTED YOU AS A FRIEND IT'S COS WE HONESTLY THINK YOU'LL LIKE US. OR IT'S COS WE THINK YOU'RE FIT. SO, ABOUT US...

It all started in 2004...

Neil was in a band called the Pheonix ,who were alright, but were definitely lacking a good-looking frontman with a voice to match his braun. Luckily, Neil knew such a man from school: enter Tom Folan!

With Tom's appearance the standard was raised and he and Neil soon realised The Pheonix' drummer just wasn't up to the job. They needed someone with funk in his blood. By good furtune Tom knew Rich from working at a local bar and buying drugs off him* and knew he played the drums so got him in on the act.

The standard was raised yet again but this highlighted a new weak link: bass.

The band needed someone who could do the job, and was on the level. The choice was obvious because Tom and John had been mates since they were knee high. They were at the same school with Neil, and Rich worked with him at the bar as well - it all made sense. It was fate.

The finishing touch was a new name for the new band and the inspired choice was Curzon Circle!

Gigging regularly around Birmingham and sometimes farther afield, we f*ckin love playing, and love the music we play. Come and see us. If you aint impressed we'll give you your money back...

(..Actually, this is a lie, we wont at all. Mainly because we know you'd be lying!)

*All references to drugs are fictional. We're just trying to sound rock 'n' roll.
