Prior to her arrival in the UK during the winter of 200-, Virginie Lauret (voice) was a regular on the reportedly lucrative French cabaret circuit. Unwanted advances from Monsieurs and a desire to live the famed debauchery of Brighton led to her happy arrival on these shores.
Flo (drums) is a man with a history of mostly harmless charlatanism. Of an evening, loud exclamations on a variety of topics can be heard from wherever he may find himself graced with good company. And a small glass.
Justin Schamotta (synth/accordion) days as an organ grinder are over following his exceedingly naughty monkey's sensational arrest. He has no room for metaphorical skeletons in his closet, there being a real one in there already.
Tim "Monet" Williams (guitar/banjo) is our resident antiquarian - his cabinet of wonders puts the Musei Wormiani Historia to shame.
Jennifer Evans (harp) is an artist and admirer of pom-poms and Vertinsky. She's also handy with a pair of rib cutters.
Before traveling via steamship from the southern hemisphere, Dr. Lesley Roberts (violin) earned her keep delighting guests with her after-dinner tales but is now confined to the written word.
Samuel J. Tetley (bass) wonders what misfortune befell his predecessors. He then wonders if the same fate awaits him.
Lorna Thomas (cello) is also a costumier of some renown. Having been involved with both the Rational Dress Reform Society and the Aesthetic Dress Movement she has moved on to creating corsets for persons of indeterminable gender.

Trousseaux are an ever expanding musical mass currently existing of
seven humans. They make sounds using equipment such as microphones,
bass, violin, cello, harp, drums, batteries, amps, guitars, pedals, keys, leads, plugs
and technology. They are an Anglo-French-Antipodean collaboration designed to please your ear and devastate your soul. They live, sleep and eat together in a specially constructed house in Brighton, UK. They enjoy being invited out to play gigs, drink tea and eat cake. Currently, the only pet Trousseaux have is a Seagull with one wing called Samuel Miro and Trousseaux are his favourite band.

Huzzah! thank you very much for sorting that out! :D yes the ball was amazingly odd. Im glad they threw some waltz songs in there towards the end though. I think many were expecting more ballroom music. It would have been nice to dance to you guys n girls though. *steals essence* :D
