Seven years saw the band unsuccessfully try to break the Liverpool gig
'scene', some hit and miss touring around the country a regrettable
involvement with a dodgy label and a succession of bass players come
and go.
In 2006, after witnessing the far greater interest shown in live music
in the area, Andy relocated to Chester with a renewed hope to make a
name for the band.
Playing acoustic slots at Open Mic. night each Tuesday over
the course of a few months gained more interest in the songs than years
of hard slog in the so-called 'Capital Of Culture'. Here, Andy met
Monkey Dave. Following the unfortunate departure of then bassist Gary
Ellis, Dave agreed to join Sheldon.
It's 2008.
Sheldon are:
Andy Hignett: guitar, vocals
Richard Dodd: drums
Monkey Dave: bass

We havent really looked at Ormskirk to be honest. Heard it's dominated by a couple of Indie bands - which aint what we're about. Will check it out though and get back to ya.
always god to gig with. Great songs. Monkey is a good add to the band, loved his slide over the table, that does not happen and happen well often anywhere. You seem to enjoy playing live so do it a whole lot more. It is why we start bands, it's magic.
