RISER

Dave da Knob...

If ever a man you've probably never heard of could claim the status of "music legend" - it's Dave Hutchins. All of the other band members agree that we wouldn't be the band we are without our guru behind the desk. For one thing, we'd be quieter....

Dave has a rich legacy of working with the greats of the music industry from his days with Island Music, having toured, produced, and engineered for many years for such greats as Genesis, Bob Marley, Camel, The Stones, and our favourites, A Flock Of Seagulls. His experience and understanding helps make even his brother Pete sound good!

The kit he plays is custom-designed equipment built by Allen and Heath, the layout and scope of our visible PA has been designed by Dave and Pete, and their expertise is also available for other functions - check out Audio Alchemy on our LINKS page for more details.

Meet the chaps...

First, and by no means greatest, is Lee Davids. He may be short in stature, but he is big in talent. Our lead singer and guitarist boasts a scarily large portfolio, and he will get it out anywhere.

Next, our lead guitarist is Dave Cox, who with his wah-wah pedal and bright yellow guitar sets the standards that we all try to sink to...

Now we come to bassist Pete Hutchins. Veteran of many a party, Pete knows what turns a tune into an anthem (usually a solid bass-line!)

No band would be complete without a great drummer. So whilst we wait for one to come along, we have Paul Shrimpton. Paul keeps us in time, if not always on time, and completes the on-stage line up.

Finally, we'd be nothing without the man on the knobs, Dave Hutchins, who brings years of industry experience to our cause. He really is our secret weapon.
