Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band started off as a 3-piece in the bass player's kitchen, consisting of Shaun Dillon (vocals), Mark Osborne (bass) and Martin Cardwell (drums). They added rhythm guitarist Darren Burdis and a lead guitarist (Mark's cousin) to form a band that took lots of influence from Oasis and The Stereophonics. The lead guitar slot was then taken over by Martin Williamson to complete the 5-piece line up. We now play an original rock n' roll set and we love it!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have and will continue to play allover Newcastle, including top notch venues like the Head of Steam, The Cluny, The Bridge Hotel and many others. There are also plans to perform in Liverpool and London later in the year.
