New CD: Labyrinth

Monday 22 August 2011

In the beginning ...

Back in 2008 Tony turned up at a jam with some jazz mates of mine. Later we talked about starting our own band but that didn't happen for another year. In 2009 Tony and I played as a duo at the Basin Music Festival doing 4 sets and agreeing that this was a good thing. Tony introduced Stu after the last set and shortly after we had a drummer.

Next to join was Birchy (Chris), another mate, Anthony, had been sitting in on guitar but had other plans. After a day of lead guitar auditions Birchy had secured the role by impressing all with blinding speed and tasty playing.

Last to join was Ivan on bass. Hilton had got us started, then Ken had kicked us up a gear with some lively playing but finally it was Ivan who grabbed the ball and ran with us all the way to the recording studio.
