Downright Liberty
News, John the sax player has now left the band
We wish him the best and he will be missed.
The minstrels are
Steve ‘Stratobiker’ Bennett.... Lead Guitar and vocals
Paul ‘Butlins’ Edmonds Riley.... Keyboards and vocals
Nic ‘Bonneville’ James.... Bass Guitar and vocals
Drum Machine…Drums
Band members bio’s
Steve the guitarist is well known for his money laundering activities, and will gladly replace your pounds sterling for slightly dodgy forged euro’s
Paul the keyboard players hobby is arson, oh he loves to set fire to anything, so if its an insurance claim you are after, well just chat to him after the show.
Nic’s wikepedia page suggests he invented the hamster, he has never admitted or denied the claim, he is also a well respected safe blagger.
The drum machine insists it played on the first two albums by Led Zeppelin, a claim strongly refuted by the band.
Musical Bio’s
Steve was taught to play guitar by a Tibetan monk during the summer of 1965 when he was trying to cycle his way right across the Himalayas, although the pushbike epic was rather unsuccessful owing to him trying to fit snow chains to his trusty bike, his guitar playing however flourished into solo’s that can often last several hours.
Paul’s first gigs where at the new ‘magic lantern theatres’ where he rose from the pulpit complete with his Wurlitzer organ, he played to the new fangled moving pictures projected onto the screen.
Sadly with the introduction of the ‘talkies’ he found himself without work until he found fame as a Bingo caller, if you listen carefully and play the Downright Liberty CD backwards its alleged you can hear Paul singing “one and one…legs eleven!)
Nic learned his guitar skills by reading Bert Weedon’s classic publication ‘Play in a day’ the only problem was due to being illiterate it took seven months to get past page four.
Drum machine claims to have got his big break by playing ‘Communication Breakdown’ with Led Zeppelin after John Bonham slipped off his stool and was injured during a concert, again the band are not convinced by the validity of his claims.
