Band/artist history
Feet: Lead Guitarist, I started learning to play guitar back in 1970 when I was just 12. I used to Jam with KB when we were in our early twenties. I played with a few bands at school and after leaving school and occasionally as a stand-in bass player. Prefer writing and playing original music to doing other bands covers. I'm Interested in effects, gadgets, recording and sound technology. Play : Gibson SG Voodoo swamp ash + shadow midi pickup, Rickenbacker, Fender telecaster, Rickenbacker Stereo Bass, Fender strat, spanish classical and mandolin. Various EMU Synthesisers via Midi Guitar. KB plays Ibanez accousic, Gibson Les Paul custom, Korg M1 Unpredictable Headband - born from the 'Imaginators Friends' recordings where a ghostly recording of radio 4 Violin concherto solos were over-dubbed on our Barn recording of "Child in time?". Seemed syncronised - part of our recording comes totally together.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Occasionally we play at party or pub gigs. Played Rock Clochforbie 2016, a charity festival gig with headline band 'Guns to Roses' from London. Live JAM at Last Bus, Lost Cafe. An unusual evening or live entertainment , drinks and snacks in the company of Locals.
