About Us
Charmain
Charmain has been singing for nearly as long as she has been able to talk!
From being dragged up to sing the solo at every school event going, through to being repeatedly told to “SHUT UP” by her little brother when she would sing Alanis Morrisette all day every day in her teens, music has always been a huge passion.

At the age of 17, Charmain started singing with function bands ‘The Make Me Smile Band’ and then ‘Sonic Fusion’ who she sang with for a whopping 17 years, and during that time supported Southwest treasures, The Wurzels and duetted with Grammy Award winner, Joss Stone.
Although she doesn’t have any music qualifications, she did get a gold star for playing Little Donkey on the recorder particularly well at the age of 8 and has now expended into playing the tambourine, slide whistle and kazoo…..and if Dave let’s her, maybe a cowbell too!

Sadly, Dave isn’t an accomplished recorder player. If he offers to play London’s Burning please smile, nod and then run in the opposite direction.
However, he has been playing guitar since he was 15 and attended the ACM when he was 18.
This led to him playing with the likes of Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Reef and Skunk Anansie.
Since then he has played for a wide variety of artists and bands across the country at various festivals and events, including playing at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.

Rich
The Royal Academy of Music, Conservatoire de Paris and The British Music Industry are all names not to be associated with Richard Lancaster and his drumming abilities.
But, if you want someone who can play every Guns’N’Roses song on the drums, he might be your man!
Rich plays a DW Collector series with Zildjian cymbals and a Ron Dunnett titanium snare.
Currently sponsored by Carlsberg.
Dislikes uncooked cheese and Coldplay.
We have been asking Frazer for at least 6 months for a bit of a bio to put on here to share with you, but being the laidback bass player type, he hasn’t, so he has essentially made a big mistake as it means we can write whatever we like about him!
We’ll be kind for now, but one false move in a rehearsal and we’ll spill all his secrets!

So things we know about Frazer. He is a mahoosive Toto fan. He’s such a huge Toto fan that even his girlfriend is called Roseanna!
He’s also fan of a decent spiced rum (although not too many as he is a bit of a lightweight) and he actually started off as a guitarist, but switched to bass which we are hugely thankful for as he is a stonking bass player and you’ll hear that at our gigs!
Anyway, wait until he says something wrong to one of us and we’ll update this section with all of his deepest, darkest secrets!
