Trevor John

(ACOUSTIC GUITAR/LEAD VOCALS)


John is his middle name not his surname! Emanating from a successful musical family, the Sahetapy's from Singapore, Trevor has been playing and living in the UK for some years now. Has been mentioned as having the voice 'to die for'.

Able to cover songs by Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, U2 etc, and just as comfortable doing songs by Tracy Chapman, James Taylor, and Neil Young. With a huge and varied repertoire Trevor is able to entertain a wide audience.

Trevor Parsons

(LEAD GUITAR/BACKING VOCALS)


An IT person by trade, he started the ball rolling by accompanying Trevor John as his gutarist in the bands early days and many gigs they still play as a duo. He has tremendous experience playing in bands of various styles.

An extremely talented lead guitarist, able to play exacting guitar styles from bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and others.

Jez Shipton

(LEAD GUITAR/BACKING VOCALS)


Jez, the musician of the band, a graded violinist and pianist and a talented guitarist to boot! Holds a managerial position in a high street bank.

Another one with loads of experience playing with different bands and different styles of music. His improvisation on lead breaks is certainly astounding!

David Warwick

(BASS & BACKING VOCALS)


"Jason King" look alike. A talented craftsman, hand manufactures "goblins" for sale at craft-fares that he and his partner travel to throughout the country. Ultra cool bass guitarist whose forte is definitely the "Blues" but plays other styles just as fluently.
