Cheryl (Lead Singer and Keyboards) Dan (Drums) James (Bass Guitarist) Shaun (Guitarist) What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? My Dad was a huge influence in me taking an interest in music. He had musical instruments throughout the house I grew up in and hoped I would gravitate towards them and learn them – his plan worked, I did! I always loved the keyboards. My Dad plays bass guitar, guitar, keyboards and sings so I’ve always seen practicing in the house as just the norm although I didn’t really take a great interest, or at least act on it, until I was 27 years old when my marriage fell apart and I found myself alone and looking to distract myself. I did, however, do music in school and was always tinkering, but had never joined any bands or done anything serious until my late twenties. For some reason,I was riddled with nerves and now, given everything that’s happened in my life, something in my brain has just changed and I barley get nervous anymore. It's quite strange. If I wasn’t focused on music, then I’d likely be doing something else creative like art (drawing/painting) and crafts. I did graphic design for s short spell at college and I design most of the band’s artwork for singles/EP’s/merch etc.
