ROB DAVIDSON
Bass Guitar
On Bass is the newest member, Rob Davidson. 
Having joined us after Juanitas' (pictured above) departure to pastures new , we believe we've found a superb addition to the unit. Rod's from Norwich & has played with Henry Smith's Country Dreams.
His last band was the Barhoppers who have something of a cult following around the Norfolk area. He is a master guitar maker and actually plays one of his own beautiful creations, a birds eye maple "Precission Bass" body with an ebony neck & "Jazz Bass" electrics.



MICK DOWNS
Drums
The drummer with the band is Mick Downs whose image
initially appears to be that of a “Hell’s Angel!!!” Mick is a keen motorcycle fan.
He has played with most of the bands in the Anglia area, spending 2 years
with the very successful Tennessee Whisky.
He also spent time with City Limits and Midnight Highway.
