Number 12 Bus
The band is made up of professional people from all walks of life but involved in work that needs to remain confidential.
Why this name?
Tje , is the Nickname fot the guitarist. Nobody else volunteered one!
Do you play live?
Tje plays everywhere. Mainly seen at sports venues and beeches of southern Eire. He has also given Royal command performances at the privae dwellings of British Royalty - mainly because his flat used to overlook one of them!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
MP3 has definately been changed by the music industry since it's inception - come on guys get it the right way round - even old timers like us will not be intimidated by a bit of tech!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We would be willing to purchase a struggling music label. Yes and I would be happy for any interest in me - come on why are we here!
Band History:
Formed when Tje got a Hondo II pro guitar after doing millions of paper rounds in the 70s. The gutiar needs a few new frets but still gets a run-around. Sits on the cabin wall at the bottom of the garden where the birds, bees,cats foxes, squirrels and hedghogs regularly demonstrate support for the band.
Your influences?
Everything has had an influence. Satchmo,Nick Drake, (the old) Richie Havens, Steppenwolf, Ted Nugent, Ravel, Notts County Football Club, Stoma Yamashta, The Kinks, Ian Dury, John Williams, John Mcgloughlin, Frank Zappa, Beefheart. So much more!
Favorite spot?
Wherever I am.

Anything else...?
