Hugh McManners Band logo

Formed:

May 2007

Based:

Oxford and Shoreditch

Description:

A surge of the old faves. Quite a lot people sing along, and the fit ones dance. Plus some of our own stuff, and lots of musical diversification into unknown territory 'cos the drummer looks like Harry Potter.

History:

Hugh suggested that Will, a classical violinist, should be able to play drums, and as this made people dance, the band got itself a coupla pub gigs and never looked back. Chris Mongo Shaker takes care of the bottom end.

Influences:

JJ Cale, Surfing Brides, Gutter Brothers, Mongo Shakers, Keef, Aynsley Lister Band, John Mayall, Beatles, Hamsters, Lee Ryder, Free, Hendrix, everyone-who-knows-me and Silver Phil.

Members:

Gary Gibson 334, Fender Statocaster and an AC30, TAMA Starclassic drums with stacks of bottom from Harry Hartke.
