Line Band!

On Sunday I had the first rehearsal with my LIVE BAND.

It won’t sound the same as the record but the spirit will be the same. They won’t be playing with me all the time, only for some shows, but it’s looking good….

The band features:

Mr. Christopher Baldwin on guitar, possibly best known for playing in Hirameka Hi-Fi, and now, among other things, of the band Yonokiero (whose album has just come out on Front and Follow and is good.)

Mr. Matt Southall aka  Spandex on the synthesizer. He has done several 12″s of wonderful techno under that name.

Mr. Darren Simpson, who I had the pleasure of playing with in Savoy Grand, on the drum kit.

Mr. David Gray, from my old band Seachange, on guitar and ‘vibes’.  Dave also did the artwork for my LP.

Basically, these are some serious people and I am very pleased to have them playing my music. It ought to be good times.

If you would like to book the Line band (or indeed just me on my own) for your birthday, wedding or bar mitzvah then please email johnpower@gmail.com
