Jon
Heslop - Piano/Organ & Vocals
A (young) veteran
of the North West music scene, Jon's R&B piano is second to none
as those of you who've heard it will testify. Close your eyes and you
could be back in Ferriday Louisiana c1956 listening to the Ol' Killer
himself!
On top of that, he's got a fine set of lungs on him and has been known
to drive the female members of the audience to distraction when he plays
his organ.(Please, like The Carbs, give a home to an old joke).
I'm gonna
do ya a little boogie on this here piana...
Chris
Todd - Guitar & Vocals
"Needs more carbs" - a phrase rarely
used to describe Todd's approach to fitness and diet. Another (even
younger) veteran, he'll have to buy a new guitar one day but is intent
on wringing a few more years out of his trusty electric blue Strat.
A genuine lover of all things R&B and Rock 'n' Roll, you'd be hard pressed to find the Chuck Berry or Albert King riff he hasn't lifted note for note. All said and done, he's as authentic as any Chicago blues player and singer this side of Bolton.
Helping to considerably reduce the overall weight of the band is recent addition, Julian.
Hailing from Bury way, he is well-known to many on the circuit as one of the best bass players around. A wealth of experience in blues and rock playing has meant a string of seamless performances from the word go.
Next time you come to see us, ask nicely and we're sure he'll serve up one of his funky solos - not to be missed!
Eddie
Rayner - Drums
Originally hailing from the "Land of the
Long White Cloud", Eddie is responsible for bringing a smarter, more
clean cut look to the band e.g.he actually irons his clothes.
With an impressive history of top flight skinsmanship, he has brought
a new depth to the band (or so he tells us). He's something of a perfectionist
and always delivers, no matter what the style.
When not gigging with The Carbs,
Eddie works as a professional double for Cliff Richard and Barack Obama.
