Alan Wormald, guitarist,

Age as old as my feet but a bit older than my teeth originally was born in Leeds but now live near Nottingham. Been playing guitar since a very young age, as a kid I used to sit and work out the guitar parts for all The Beatles songs that I could get my hands on by listening on radio or LP’s, which ultimately set me up to being a accomplished guitarist(No tabs in them days?). Over the years worked with people such as Freddy Starr, Cannon & Ball and Shakatak in the studio and also with live performances. Still touring to this day with Shakatak and been a member of Shakatak now since 1995 and still going strong mainly playing gigs in foreign countries such as Japan and Russia and others which is great way to see the world and getting paid at the same time(nice). Musical influences range from The Beatles, Cream, Alan Holdsworth, Jimmi Hendrix and anything that just sounds cool. Gear I use is Parker Fly Classic and Levinson Blade R3 fitted with RolandGR20 and run it through Marshall TSL122 +2X12 Cab, Boss ME50. We cover many different genres of music on the gigs such as; Blues, Prog Rock, Ballads and lots of guitar and bass solos going on, and just mainly have a good time so come down and check us out sometime in the upcoming shows you won’t be disappointed, and if so you get your money back, but only in the gigs its free entry.

Simon Goulding (Bass Guitar)

Simon Goulding (bass guitar)

I grew up in the village of Coppull, Lancashire, NW England. I Started playing the bass guitar at the age of 9 and quickly realized that it was what I wanted to do for ever. How did the bass guitar come into my hands.....Well.. I remember watching an Eric Clapton concert on TV as a kid. I noticed a guy stood at the back next to the drummer who was making the band groove and the music made me get goose bumps everytime the bass player was shown on TV. I then started to be obsessed with the bass and it's role in the band sitting in front of the radio, TV and listening out for the bass and trying to find out who it was because most of the time they would'nt tell you who the band was. Years of intensive woodshedding followed. I studied music at school and actually was teaching at the school music centre while still a student. I studied music at Wigan & Leigh college obtaining a BTEC national diploma in performing arts and being awarded the college music prize on 2 consecutive years. After graduating college I attended Middlesex university for one year studying a BA in jazz & popular music but offers of work onboard cruise liners (Europe & Carribean) I decided to leave and see the world.
