we also rock up some more unexpected but still well known and loved tunes , making sure we keep things interesting and maintaining
musical momentum throughout our gigs. We have it all covered, new and old, fast and slow, soft and heavy , ballads , sing-alongs and
foot tapers , and everything in between.

Favourite guitar: “My trusty red Strat that I've had for 31 years, currently on its 7th set of pickups."
Pete 'Jesus' Cumpstone

Plays the four string as it’s two easier than a six!

Does Jesus look alike in spare time at very reasonable rates. If found return to Download Festival.
Steg
Drums & Percussion
Widely regarded as one of Lincolnshire’s premiere rock drummers.
One of life's perfectionists and his own best critic.
Watching Steg in action is a must - his attention to detail and technical ability is outstanding and a joy to watch.
