The Amplifires history starts in late 2005 when David Brunt bought a guitar case from Steve Rawlinson via ebay and, after realising that Steve was just a couple of miles away, went to collect it. Steve was looking to form another band as was David so with shared musical interests - two pieces of the jigsaw in place!
Meanwhile Steve already knew Sharon Clancy and her musical background. An opportunity had arisen earlier to play guitar in Sharon’s presence and memorably the sound of Blondie’s ’Call Me’ guitar riff was quickly accompanied by Sharon’s voice. Another piece of the jigsaw in place.
Original drummer Ted Morris knew Steve from The Boat Inn in Cromford where they were trying to realise and sell plans to run a live music club for new, young bands to the owners - this would become Band Explosion. Co-incidentally, aside from his profession as a sound and lighting engineer, Ted also played drums for another local band. Yet another piece of the jigsaw in place.
All four pieces got into the same room around September 2005 and a gig at the Boat Inn quickly ensued on 22nd October 2005. Professional commitments have slowed down their sonic assault but October 2006 sees The Amplifires poised and ready to rock. Ted, due to outside commitments left the band in September 2007. Ruth Dobson joined the band as drummer and played her first gig at The Red Lion on the 4th October 2007. Now looking to get the band moving forward again after great recent gigs in Chesterfield and Nottingham in 2008.
