We had a great night at the Sportsman last Friday 28th, many thanks to all who came along to support us and enjoy the music. We are looking forward to the next one.

Ian Wright

After many years of strumming round the campfire, the blues has taken over to a large degree, and he loves it – has yet to bring the washboard into it!

Gary James

After teen years rocking it out with a band, he has worked for many years as a solo live performer of his own work and also as a guitar tutor, bringing many students on to great things.

Phil Mulford

Phil Mullford is a busy professional bass player based in London. His professional career of over 20 years covers all aspects of Popular Music including Touring, Recording, Television and Theatre work. His list of credits is impossible to précis really but includes Lionel Ritchie, Annie Lennox, Paul Young, Leo Sayer, Will Young, Steve Hackett, Elkie Brooks- to name but a few. Currently in the theatre band for “Dirty Dancing”, he has recently been involved with TV work such as “Your Country Needs you” and “X Factor” .

Aaron Mulford

Son of Phil and Caroline, an excellent up and coming drummer who kindly took time out from his own music to do some excellent stick and brush work for us and give that real, live music feel!
