Bob has very bendy arms and fingers, which help him play some well funky bass lines. He also plays the glockenspiel, mandolin and if put in a headlock, will sing. You will probably find him in the Fact café on Saturdays playing on his spangly mac, drinking coffee and wrestling with the guardian crossword. Bob loves Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, cinema, gin and tonic, Neil Young, brown clothes and corduroy.
Tim plays guitar (mostly fiddly bits), sings backing vocals and is the catalyst for getting important things done. He also keeps threatening to get his old banjo restored and has been looking for a tenor guitar for eons. David Rawlings is his guitar hero. Tim loves posh whisky, cricket, mountains, being on the way to places, Monty Don, chillies, and would love to be in the Bad Seeds.
GREG SCHOFIELD -piano, b/vox.
Greg wins the prize for playing the most instruments. I first met him playing for Sanctified Gospel Choir. He is a pretty darn wonderful musician, can sing supernaturally high, and is a top geezer as well (check out his stuff on www.myspace.com/gregschofield). Likes Gemma Hayes, so everything’s going to turn out beautifully.
TIM ANDERSON -drums.
Tim Anderson is the newest member of the band and has so far been bringing hot beats and phantom harmonies to practice sessions. More info to come soon...!

RACHAEL Wright’s evocative stories and songs portray the tension between the melancholic and the hopeful. The singer and songwriter from Liverpool draws on indie, folk, pop, and country styles, and her debut album, released last year, has been gaining her a host of admirers
