DAVE CAMRASS
Dave is an excellent Violinist, competent in a number of different fields ranging from Classical, Folk, Trad and Jazz.
We're delighted to have Dave in the band, all the more so as he travels from Leeds to play with us.
It'll be great when we can pay him.

MICHAEL PAVANNE
Michael Pavanne is a top-notch Guitarist, like Dave, he can play many styles and is in demand as a performer and teacher. He's a good front man for the band as he never gets embarrassed.

MICK TAYLOR
Mick Taylor started his career as a Classical Guitarist but always had an interest in playing Jazz and the opening came with Parisian Swing. Things have moved on since and Mick is now an established front line player with Gitane. He doubles on Bass to let me play a bit of Flute now and then. As you can see from his picture he plays backwards.

LAURIE JOHNSTON
Laurie Johnston plays Bass and Flute in the band but doesn't concentrate. His mind is usually on lower things.
