Micky Kemp - Micky writes the songs,plays rythmn geetar and sings,
His devastating good looks and charm have made him a big hit with the over 70's and under 5's, it seems to have failed miserably on all points between.
He is ably assisted by One of the UK'S great guitarists, Ex Ian Hunter etc etc Darrell Bath,, Darrell sings a bit too and plays lead guitar, a master of understated playing and tone perfection, Dazza loves playing guitar, drinking and british sitcoms, he can be found most evenings watching George and Mildred. Daz can be heard on the SEVERE label
Also making up the numbers is the Affectionately named "BASTARD SON OF OZZY OSBOURNE, lAYDEEEEZ AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNN,, Its the mighty Chiv, and yes he is as bad as he looks, a fine man, Drummer and driver. The mighty one is a firm favourite with kids and animals,,,
The task of "cool man of the band" falls firmly at the feet of our enigmatic bass meister Nigel Taylor, a good dude who enjoys drinking nearly as much as Dazza, slightly more than Micky and a fair old bit more than the Mighty beast we call Chiv, Nigel has played with many of the UK's great artists,, (up until now,,,HA HA..)

On February 9, 2004 a young Brit named Micky Kemp made his Borderline debut and gave a roomful of punters another story to tell in years to come. This blue-collar lad from Surrey, who grew up immersed in Johnny Cash and Elvis, tore through a ten-song opening set that had the audience on its feet and gasping for breath. From the opening power chords of Sweet Rock & Roll to the thunderous ovation that followed Last Goodbye, Kemp's passion and energy carried the night."
