Lead Vocals/Guitar - Craig Mackenzie
Craig started playing some solo gigs in 2012 and played in a previous cover band Slippery Fret.
Craig's main influences are from the Britpop era, namely Oasis, whilst more recently Noel Gallagher, Kasabian and Stereophonics have all featured greatly on his playlist. Craig's Scottish roots also highlight why he has a keen interest in the Celtic/Country genre with Runrig being a personal favourite.
The youngest in the band, Craig brings a confident front man approach, and with his range of stage lighting creates that little something different on stage.
Lead Guitar - Colin Cripps
Colin has played in bands since he was 13 years old doing everything from covers to original material by both himself and others. He has played pop, blues, rock, soul, funk and folk, both electric and acoustic, and once headlined at Cambridge festival. This means of course that he has variously imagined himself as Keith Richards, Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy, Jimmy Page, Slash, Paul Weller, Nile Rogers, Buddy Guy, John Mayer and Joe Bonamassa: unfortunately, despite now being old father time, he never managed to look or play like any of them…
He has written and released a rock opera, "The Hermit", and a text book on modern music for schools: "Popular Music in the Twentieth Century". Recently he has released two albums with singer/songwriter Bob Hughes and his own music is being used in a forthcoming horror film.
Colin is the musical driving force behind the band with his blistering guitar solos. One thing you can be sure on with Colin, he will never play the same solo twice!
