Candy Spangles is the band's funkadelic lead singer and has a wonderful sound to her voice. She has a particular passion for Soul Funk and Motown, but her wide and strong vocal range means she can sing anything from James Brown to Queen with complete conviction. She enjoys engaging with the audience, encouraging them to join in and get up onto the dance floor.
Despite her youthful appearance, Jenny is a professional piano tutor and has played extensively across the Midlands in a range of bands and a range of styles Pitch perfect, she provides the perfect backing vocals for Candy whilst being able to simultaneously play two keyboards, providing the horn, piano and string parts for many of the tracks we play which completes our sound.
Phil's wide ranging tastes in music, from Electronica to Grunge, mean that his guitar skills have been honed across a broad range of genres and styles. He's as comfortable playing Motown as he is Guns and Roses, and his ability to improvise means that he's always able to suprise the band with elements of his playing.
Pete has played extensively across the UK in a variety of bands and a variety of music styles. From 1950's rock n roll to the Kings of Leon, Pete works hard to get the bass parts true to the original recording and with Simon forms a rock solid core to the band. He also provides bass and baritone vocal support for Nic and Jen.
Simon is the true perfectionist in the band and has an extraordinary eye for the detail of the drum parts within a song. His technique and focus helps drive the band forward and works with Pete to provide a foundation for the rest of the music. Simon has played across Europe and recently toured with Neville Staples 'The Specials' and Pauline Blacks Selecter.
