Classic Rock, Blues and Pop Band.
Marie Watson - Bass: Youngest member of the band but what a bass player!
Marie used to religiously go and see Sheffield Bluesman, Frank White, at The Pheasant, Sheffield every Friday Night. This, along with watching superb bass players such as Marcus Axelby and Jeremy Meek, encouraged her to want to learn to play bass.
Marie finally plucked up courage to taste the music scene as a bass player in The Problem with Marie.
Most likely to say: "What key is this song in again folks?"
Least likely to say: "Didn't I play well?"
Favourite Band: Boy on a Dolphin
Musical Influences: Frank White, John Reilly and her Dad
Chris Watson - Lead Guitar: Well established Axe-Man in the band scene in and around Sheffield
Chris started playing guitar after listening to early skiffel behind Frecheville Community Centre, trying to sneak into the Rock Club. It was behind the same community centre, in 1965, that Chris achieved one of his main claims to fame, playing football with the Nashville Teens. Another claim to fame is, in 1966, he took Joe Cocker up the bank of Frecheville Pond to show him it had not changed. The most recent fame claim however took place in May 2006 when Chris had his photo taken with Eric Clapton's guitars on the stage of Sheffield Arena
Most likely to say: "Everybody's too loud but not me."
Least likely to say: "Anybody want a drink?"
Favourite Bands: "Kinks, Who, Small Faces
Musical Influencs: "Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Frank White, Mick Box.
Roger Simmons - Drums:
35 years of hitting the skins and he still has some hearing left!
Roger's first experience of band life was at the age of 16. His main musical claim to fame, which he bores people with endlessly, is that he played in the band "Cerebral Tswett" which once supported Hawkwind!
As well as playing drums, Roger sometimes "howls" in the background and occasionally performs with other instruments including guitar, keyboard and, for special occasions, the stylophone!
He has also contributed his own song-writing to the set list.
Roger says: "Playing with the band re-assures me there's still life in the old dog. Age becomes irrelevant on stage! (which is just as well!)"
Most likely to say: "Bit more on the vocals!"
Least likely to say: The bit I enjoy most is humping the gear!
Favourite Band: Probably The Who
Biggest Musical Influence: The Beatles
Ray Kinsey - Vocals and Guitars:
Ray has played in bands for the last 35 years (so virtually since he was born!) and has experience of writing and recording original work. He released an album in 1981 called "Dying To Know" which got to number 5,756 in the charts.
Ray says "I enjoy playing now more than ever. We all have a good time and that comes across at our gigs. We're not the most technically perfect band in the world (or even in Sheffield) but when we get going you can't ignore us."
Most likely to say: "Sorry. I think that was my fault."
Least likely to say: "We're a bit loud, I wonder if we should turn down a bit."
Favourite Band: Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band.
Musical Influences: George Formby
