DESCRIPTION:
Sounds in the Grounds 2011, The guys turn in a blistering performance of Drain it Dry at our wee festival in Stornoway. Daniel`s solo comes with a guarantee..."face melted or your money back !" Factoids. The guys first started gigging in retirement homes throughout the Hebrides almost 2 years ago and have since reached
the pinnacle of The Clachan Bar, Stornoway. Lead singer Gordon auditioned for, and won, the part of "Shaggy" for the stage adaptation of "Scooby Doo" but never took it up out of loyalty to the band. Michael, the bassist, is actually left handed but could not afford a left handed base. 3 years ago, he underwent an operation in Switzerland to have his hands amputated and switched round. This allows him to play less expensive right hand guitars
and hitch-hike backwards. Daniel Swan is the group`s main axe man. Nothing to do with guitars, he likes to relax between gigs by cutting down forests.He has a lip ring, an ear-ring, a nose ring, a ring tone, ring piece and a bionic haircut. Voted least likely to walk through an airport scanner and not spark a full scale shutdown. Tom Tyrrell...as wide as he is tall, is the only one in the group whose name is ancient Norse. It means "slayer of chocolate biscuits". Once , with two broken legs , he managed to operate the kickdrum for the entire gig by strapping his bokkan to the pedal...then looking from a foto of Pamela Anderson to another of Gordon Smith over and over very quickly.

The band are managed by Paul Matheson who is North West Scotland regional champion of goody eating.
