Paul Anslow - Vocals

Picture
Paul has been at the front and the very back of gigging bands from 13 years old, starting as a drummer during the height of brit pop. We quickly realised that Paul's ego was too big to keep at the back of the room... besides which he wasn't very good on the drums, so we let him sing instead.  Paul can now be found amongst party guests... with a radio mic!

  

Sarah Wait - Vocals

Picture
Sarah hit the karaoke one Christmas, and to a stunned audience of family and friends, her huge soul voice could be heard from miles around.  Sarah, the noisier of our two singers, never fails to entertain any party, singing classic rock and soulful ballads with the greatest of ease.
Sarahs favourite food is cucumber and chocolate sandwiches.


Mike Panes - Guitar

Mike is very much the rock of the band, keeping everything in order throughout every event.  Mike has been playing guitar for many years, having started in bands with Paul from a very young age.
