When you were children who were the leaders who the followers? –(any anecdotes)

Vicky – “The fall of the Bradford music scene, it was flying high for  awhile but now seems to have died down again”
Dave- “The music business is full of highs and lows its all part of the fun. One gig can be a disappointment the next the best you’ve ever down. We just love what we are doing and are glad we are still here four years later doing what we love”
Dan – “Being on TV and then nothing more coming of it”
Who or what taught you something of value that you acted on or benefited by?

What do you love most about the band?
Dan – “Doug’s head”
Vicky – “Doing gigs”
Dave– “Same here”
What do you hate most about the band?
