All About our Band

Josh is master of the Violin and several times has come close to setting it on fire through overly frantic bowing. By day he masquerades as a journalist for a well known Australian newspaper, but no-one holds it against him.

Josh used to play in a band called The Tinkers. They did traditional Irish music. No-one holds that against him either.

Graeme plays his Mandocello (or Bouzuki) like a demon and spends more money on broken strings than he earns doing gigs. His excellent cooking abilities and long term experience as a chef mean that the band never goes hungry.

Graeme also plays with Nigel McRae and Chris in a band called Ocean Moses. Ocean Moses is an originals band that plays ecclectic Pop.

Nigel is the brunt of endless Piano Accordion jokes, but redeems himself by occasionally playing Tin Whistle instead. Sometimes he writes the band tunes in strange time signatures just to annoy them. He keeps himself amused during the day by designing websites such as this one.

With a love of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, you won't find a funkier bass player than Chris in many other bands. His own unique mix of slides, pops and chunky melodies adds a bass line that stands out. Chris used to sell alcohol for a living and was consequently the most popular member of the band.

Mick is the groovemaster extroirdinare and mixes Techno beats into Jigs and Reggae beats into Reels with a Bodrahn technique like no-one else. Although he no longer plays Spoons due to a nasty accident that left him with 10 simultaneously broken fingers, he keeps us in time with a solid Darabuka part. If you're after organic vegetables or a herbal cure for the common cold, Mick's your man. Mick can also be found playing the fool in The Horses Leotard.
