RISER

Lee...

Lee is the only one of the band to adopt a stage name - he feels it gives him 'presence' (whatever that means). His real name is Veronica, by the way....

Lee's been playing and gigging since just after he hit puberty, according to his own website (to be found HERE), playing such global musical hot-spots as High Wycombe, Shepton Mallet, Hazelmere, and Bracknell.

Since getting together with the lads, he's added Marlow, Cookham, and a tent just outside Harwich to the list, so he can't say we don't give him opportunities to shine.

Musically, Lee knows every word there is to every song that has ever been written. It's true. It's a constant challenge to find songs he doesn't know. Fortunately, we've compiled a list of the ones we've found, and thoughtfully called that list "our set"......

Lee plays numerous guitars and mandolins held up by his snazzy guitar-tree, and does a good one-man-band impression with the harmonica.

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.
