VIC 'BOOM BANGER' COX (bass)Vic started off playing the beard at sixteen and comes from a long line of traditional Greek facial hair performers. Despite musical differences and split ups he has continued playing beard in cabaret over the last 45 years. However he is most commonly seen playing bass guitar. He says he likes 'a bit of slap and tickle' but insists these are bass playing techniques. Despite his advanced years, he still manages to preserve his Peter Pan like image by bathing in a mixture of olives, Special Brew and HP sauce. DAN 'ROCK STAR' REID (guitar) Dan began playing guitar at the age of one and a half after his parents confiscated his rattle due to complaints from the neighbours and the environmental health dept. At twelve he formed heavy rock trio 'Spam Javelin' and played guitar with them until one night after a gig at the Reading Festival he accidentally got onto the wrong tour bus and ended up travelling down to London with Doctor Funkenstein. The Doctor took pity on the bemused guitarist and after filling his addled brain with rare grooves and 'take it to the bridge' guitar licks adopted him as one of his own. He likes to drink at least one bottle of Pantene Pro V shampoo a day in order to keep his hair in tip top condition. MIKE 'TALL GUY' GULVIN (keyboards)Mike's hair and moustache hail from Liverpool and when he first met the pair it was love at first sight. Mikey used to be 4' 7" until an unfortunate mishap whilst trying to move a grand piano down the ramp of a multi storey car park in Romford. He enjoys his elevated status as the 'tall guy' of the band, although he did have to leave his previous employment as a jockey. He is doing his bit for the European community by championing the cause of the Belgian Bun. CHRIS 'DIDDY DADDY DODDY' DODD(drums) Chris actually used to be the London Jazz Orchestra but then the Musicians Union found out and banned him from doing live similtaneous multiple performances as it was depriving fifty other musicians of their livelihood. He decided to concentrate on drumming, although he has still been known to pluck, blow, tinkle and strum when he thinks the other members of the band aren't looking. In his inimitable multi tasking style, he likes to use his bass drum at various times as a mobile home, a sick bag and a bath tub, but this has caused accidents when he forgets to empty it before gigs. To date, 3 people have been hospitalised as a result. CLOSE FOLDER
