CONNOR HODGSON
Singer
Hello my name is Connor and I'm the lead singer. My greatest inspirations are from Freddie Mercury. Ed Sheeran and Kenny Rodgers. Country music is my background it's been a well loved genre of music for me which is why I wear a cowboy hat from time to time. I love all sorts of music from hip hop to metal to pop to classic rock. I first started singing at the age of 8 in a choir at my primary school but never took it seriously but when I left university in 2016 I found my home in music.
Music is and always will be my greatest passion.
CRAIG LESTER
Drummer
From the age of 2 when I got my first drum as a present, I knew I was going to have a noisy upbringing. First steps into music were playing tenor horn in a brass band and then a brief stint on saxophone, but it wasn't long before I took the stool behind the drum kit and everything fell into place. I've now been playing professionally for approx 20 years, playing a multitude of genres from rock to jazz and country to pop.
Influences include Vinnie Coliauta, Neil Peart, Stuart Copeland, Steve Gadd, Thomas Lang to name a few.
When not sat behind a drum kit I spend my spare time driving fast cars, skydiving, swimming with sharks, or at jump 360. Mainly the latter.
GEOFFREY PAYNE
Bassist
Aspiring bassist, constantly competing against myself. I started playing bass when I was 7 year’s old. My dad taught me my first song on bass which was wishing well - Free. Ever since then I’ve always had a burning passion for music, with all the genres that came with it.
"You’re only as good as your last gig!"
DAVE PATERSON
Guitarist
I've always got a guitar in my hands! I studied all things guitar and music in the UK and America. I love playing piano and I'm passionate about writing, recording, teaching and learning!
Loves: food, great music (any style as long as it's amazing!), travelling and food.
Motto: Lets try'n be out for 12.
I also dabble with banjo, ukulele, fiddle, meditation and fitness.
"Being a musician is a calling. It's not something you choose to do. It chooses you, and when it does, you'll find that there's really nothing else you can do and truly be happy"
