Band Biographies!

Yes folks, it is time to meet the members of the band, so here are the bios of the Drew massive, aye! DREW GUITAR -Drew has been fascinated with the guitar from the age of 16 and some 30 years later is still as passionate as ever, having played in numerous bands over the years and having served a long apprenticeship. I have now arrived at my first original project, the Drew Smith band! The band is growing and developing all the time and I feel our material is interesting and above all fun to play. We sincerely hope to see real music fans at our gigs and look forward to playing for you! ANGIROO, BASS -I have has been playing bass for over 20 years and have gained a wealth of experience along the way and am always expanding and pushing the boundaries.I can be seen playing an upright bass and also have a 10 pedal effects board to extend my sound colours. Influences include Level 42 and modern jazz, someone has to love it! GUY, DRUMS - I have been playing since I was 16 and have played a lot of different styles as well as writing my own music.I am always trying to add new patterns to my playing and still enjoy going through drum books and tutors. I teach drum kit and my students help me keep my ears open and to question things. I also dabble on bass and piano. Influences would include Bill Bruford, Simon Phillips, Frank Zappa, Latin/Salsa music, Ethnic music and a touch of modern jazz, that makes two who listen to it!

23rd of June gig review., the Wheatsheaf, Crowborough, from Guy the drummer.

Nice, intimate(Ok, cramped!) venue, very friendly landlord and crowd. Band is developing well and some of the original numbers are really coming alive, but more numbers are needed and some songs need more work in arrangement and tightness. There is no question that the band are really finding their feet, so looking forward to the next gig and rehearsals! Please note Potters gig in July is double-booked/cancelled and will be moved to a later date so watch this space. We also have a Facebook page, will provide the link asap.

June 11th, gig report from the Star at Roffey last Friday.

Not a bad gig Friday,we felt a little nervous in the first half, but the band showed what it could do in the second set and we are re-booked! We even had some compliments from what we perceived as a very quiet audience. A good sound for a pub as well......

6th of June.

I will put up some band biography details soon, meanwhile you can see us at the Star pub in Roffey, West Sussex tomorrow night and I believe it is free!
