Jon
Vocalist and guitarist originally hailing from the hinterlands north of Derry. Mr. Fox was the one-time leader of chart-group Cold Chisel. He has a taste for medieval literature, garden gnomes, and a good pint. |

Paul
The group's spindly-fingered guitarist and vocalist, Mr. McDaniel always wanted a Vespa scooter and to live each day as the quintessential mod (or was it rocker?) |

 |
|
Peter
With the velvety touch of dandy fop, Peter man-handles the band's drum kit. Enough energy to simultaneously play both drummers' parts in Adam Ant songs single-handedly. |

'The Quiet Behoover,' Mark has a pedigree in skiffle, country, blues, and rock and roll music dating back to his teenage years. |
