Blacktip:-
A Woking based rock band with some big ideas. Fusing heavy rock, punk and grunge together to make a unique sound, The 'Tips are here to rock!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Toby Gosheron and Archie Stephens play guitar and drums respectively. A good place to do this was in a band. George Vines also shared this dream of rocking. Funnily enough he had an amp that could make his guitar sound like a bass. That would suffice as bass guitar. They then needed a vocalist. Liam Oakley was a young rogue with a voice like none that had ever been experienced. The dynamics of his voice went perfect with the Toby's gritty guitar style. George was soon sick of bass, so started playing as a backup to Toby. The came Stuart Griegg. And we realized he could play bass so he was in!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
All over. A good venue can be hard to come by because of the current chav infestation.
