Dan
joined Dodgey in autumn 2009. He started playing the clarinet at 10 and took up the sax at 14. Through school and college Dan was in various quartets, orchestras, jazz bands, big bands and shows playing clarinet, alto and baritone sax and, when nobody was looking, the flute. When at uni Dan forgot he played the sax when it was lost under a pile of dirty washing only to be rediscovered a couple of years ago. Since joining Dodgey Dan's regained his saxual stamina and is thoroughly enjoying being back on the music scene!
Roop
lead guitar, started playing in various bands with such forgettable names as Fat Worm and The Doggs which were predominately Blues/Rock bands performing their own material heavily influenced by bands such as Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Edgar Broughton Band to name but a few. Audience response to this was interesting, they supported many bands and often the crowd were still booing them as they took the stage to play their set which of course was 'over the heads' of most!
Dave
keys and backing vocals - Has been in Dodgey so long, he can remember when there were still doctors and nurses in the band. Before joining Dodgey he gained a wealth of experience (pop, rock, jazz, funk, blues) in a variety of different local bands including Time & Motion, Shotgun Blues Band, Funktion and Network. Also has composed and performed his own material. He is renowned for his versatility and is sought after to dep for his fellow keyboardists.
Nathan
bass, his favourite colour is red and his favourite biscuit is a jammy dodger!It is such a good buzz playing in a band – if your not a musician, I guess you probably wouldn't understand – the only way to describe it is as an addiction; something in your blood I guess!......playing in this band is special; as there are so many great musicians who all bring something special & give the band it's total sound….I'm sorry, but you just can't get that same feeling or energy, singing to backing tapes – it's got to be 100% live!
Tony
the newest addition to the band, joining about 2 hours before one of Dodgey's regular Pub gigs.
