- UKE ELLINGTON -
Uke is our very own Mr Positivity, out to conquer the world with a smile and his 4 stringed friend. Uke was taught to play by his dad when he was 10, and hasn’t looked back since!
- THE PROFESSOR -
The Prof has a great mind and a heart of gold. Ask him anything you like and he’ll always answer with a smile…but you’d be a braver soul than me to challenge him to a game of Scrabble!
- SWEET ROMEO -
Every band has a romantic, and Sweets is ours through and through. When he’s not busy penning letters to his best girl, he’s charming everyone else with that smile…isn’t it sickening that someone so handsome could also be such a nice guy?
- HABBA HABBA -
Habs is the strong, silent type…except when he’s walloping the living daylights out of the loudest instrument around. He keeps the boys on the straight and narrow, and has also been known to keep snacks under his bowler.
