Band Members

Mark Fry, Guitar & Vocals

Born in Swindon Wiltshire. Mark always wanted to play the Electric Guitar after listening to Europa, a track from Santana Moonflower album which his dad would play frequently on the home stereo. It would be many years later and only when he left school aged 16 not knowing what to do next that he would decide to act on his thoughts of playing a guitar. He purchased his first Electric guitar in the autumn of 2001. One week later he started having lessons with local guitar teacher Mike Strange, where he has achieved Grade 8 Practical on the Electric Guitar.

Tony Fry, Drums & Vocals

Born in Swindon Wiltshire. Tony decided he would like to play the Drums when his school friends started playing Guitars. After receiving a drum kit for his 14th birthday, lessons were quick to follow. The first 2 years lessons were taken with drum teacher Peter Karpinski. From the age of 16 he began taking lessons with Paul Ashman. Tony has achieved Grade 8 practical & an ATCL Diploma in performance on Drums.

Jock, Bass & Vocals

Born in Manchester Jock moved to Scotland at the age of one to a town called Kilsyth, near Glasgow. Where he lived until he was 12 at this time the family moved to Devizes, Wiltshire where he currently lives. He became interested in bass at 17 while playing with his friends guitar whenever they hung out together. He eventually bought his friends bass and began teaching himself how to play by using his local library to get as many books on the subject as possible.
