JOAN WAS THERE AT THE BEGINNING & KEEPS THE KENMEISTER UNDER CONTROL. IF IT WAS'NT FOR JOAN, HUBBY KEN WOULD WAFFLE ON ALL NIGHT ABOUT SOME OLD PIECE OF WOOD IN A MARSH. SHE'S A MEAN FLUTE PUFFER & A FINE PERFORMER OF THE LUNG & LARYNX.
THE OTHERS JUMP FOR JOY WHEN ITS TIME FOR A BAND TUCK-IN, SHE'S OF THE FINE SALAD AND ORGANIC GENES.

Guitars: NORMAN & YAMAHA ACCOUSTIC GUITARS.
Vocals: LEAD
CITTERN-APPALACHIAN DULCIMER - HAMMER DULCIMER. PERCUSSION

KEN IS THE MASTER OF CEREMONIES AND THE KEEPER OF THE STONE ANGEL FLAME HAVING FORMED THE BAND DURING THE TIME OF THE BLACK PLAGUE.
ALWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR A LOCAL DITTY AND A PLAYER OF ALL THINGS OBSCURE. A SUPREME AFFICIONADO ON ALL THINGS FLUTTERY -, IS HE MAN OR MOTH? BLOKE OR BAT?
THE KENMEISTER; LISTEN TO HIS NEXT SONG FOR THE ANSWER.

Guitars: FENDER STRATOCASTER & HOHNER 'JACK' GUITARS - ACOUSTIC GUITARS - BOSS MES EFFECTS - EBOW. BODHRAN
Vocals: BACKING

POTENTIALLY LOUD DEPT OF THE ANGEL. - ANDREW'S BACKGROUND IS THE LOCAL ROCK SCENE & ALONGSIDE DAVID WAS A PART OF 'MAINLAND'.
HE'S USUALLY ARMED WITH A BIG BLACK BOXES & GUITARS WITH PICK -UPS. (YUKKK!! ENOUGH TO MAKE AN HONEST FOLKY CHOKE ON HIS PLECTRUM!!)
ALL THIS COULD WORRY THE KENMEISTER A BIT, BUT IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL AT THE BACK, ALTHOUGH ON THE NEW CD YOU MAY NOTICE THAT SOME ELECTRIC GUITARS ARE TURNED UP ESPECIALLY TO DROWN OUT KEN EATING HIS SANDWICHES.

MING - HAM TO HIS FRIENDS, DAVID'S BACKGROUND IS THE LOCAL ROCK SCENE, BEING A MAJOR FORCE IN 'TEN ANGRY MEN' & RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WALL OF SOUND IN 'MAINLAND'. CLEVER WITH THE CHORDS & A KEEN ABSORBER OF THE REAL ALE.
DAVID'S EVER INCREASING COLLECTION OF BROKEN STANDS & MEANINGLESS BITS OF DISEMBODIED PLASTIC IS TO BE ENVIED, BUT FEAR NOT, HE'S CERTIFIED SAFE IN DRIVING THE STONE ANGEL DRUM MACHINE & A TOUR DE FORCE AT BAND FASHION NIGHTS!!

JANE, SHE OF THE SVELTE VOICE & ETHEREAL ECHO. WITH A BACKGROUND IN ROCK 'N' ROLL AND A PERFORMING ARTS GURU, ACTION GIRL JANE IS A FINE COMPLIMENT TO MRS KENS VOCAL LINES & A WELCOME THICKENING OUT OF THE STONIES BACKING VOCAL TOP END. LETS FACE IT, GETTING DAVID TO SCREECH FALSETTO AFTER A PINCH WITH THE PLIERS IS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!!!
KEEP THOSE BELLOWS PUMPING M'DEAR - A FINE BASHER OF ALL THINGS DRUMLIKE TOO, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE KENMEISTERS HANDS ARE FULL WITH ACOUSTIC-NESS.

WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THIS MAN? A LONG MUSICAL HISTORY TOO COMPLICATED TO MENTION HERE. RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH THE GREATS, STUDIO & LIVE SESSIONS APLENTY, GEOFF IS PROBABLY THE MOST EXPERIENCED MUSO IN THE BAND & TO CELEBRATE THIS, THE OTHERS BOW, CURTSEY & RESPECTFULLY NOD AS HE LEAPS INTO THE ROOM.
A SLAVE TO HIS NISSAN MICRA, AND AN AUTHORITY ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF HAIRCUT, THIS MAN DOVETAILS HIS BASS-LINES WONDERFULLY INTO THE MISTY & MARSHY ANGEL SONG-SCAPES. " NO FRETS GEOFF, KEEP THOSE STRINGS A BUZZIN."
