Ex-Members in memoriam |
Take me home |
Gerald |
Gerald is the elder statesman of the side. He is retired but still works for his ex-employers on a consultancy basis earning more than before - go and work that one out. If you see a man playing with some shakey fruits then that's Gerald. He collects just about everything. |

Andy Scarf |
Andy is a Dr Who double with his bag of tricks. He will often be seen playing Tuba and wearing his scarf. Andy is the undisputed monologue king of the side, and trainee pie eater. Ladies! Andy will sculpt balloons into interesting shapes for your delectation and delight. |
Roger |
Roger is yet another musical member of the side. He wields a mean mandolin and guitar, and plays the fiddle. Roger hails from the North of England and although not quite as posh as Roy he's not that far behind. |  |
 |
Bernie |
Bernie is our advertisement that dancing can only do you good. He is 168 years old, and looks about 40. Bernie does have his problems though, and construction of beds being his weakest point. |
Rob the Builder |
Rob is living proof of what can happen if you do eat up your greens. Rob is our resident gurning champion and takes an age to perfect his best gurns while playing the concertina. Often seen with a bugle in his gob. Rob can tell you stories about Bristol and Yate which can make your hair stand on end, unlike his which lost that particular ability years ago. |  |
 |
James |
James is the current UK melodeon champion (Sidmouth 2003). He has the sweetest tooth in the side, and would sell his soul for a slice of chocolate fudge cake. In fact, that's probably why he's so good at the melodeon, Robert Johnson eat your heart out! |
Ben |
Ben is our youngest member. Ben used to live in Hobbiton before joining the side. Ben plays the recorder and is learning pipe and tabor, whistle and the Highland pipes. |  |
 |
Ned |
Ned is our investment for the future. Ned plays stringed instruments, chiefly the guitar, but on occasion he plays banjo....yee ha. He joins us from Hobbiton too. |
Neil |
Neil is the mad scientist type. Neil has a unique style of dancing and always has a spring in his step. Neil knows tons of songs, but it's probably better if you don't request any. |  |
 |
Richie |
Richie is our only returned member. He danced with the side when only a boy, left and then returned after experimenting with various body decorations and peircings. Richie can talk the hind legs off of a donkey, and some. He practices the little-known martial art of poppadum snatching. He drinks like a fish, and married women are strangely attracted to him. |
Andy 2 Dogs |
Andy is a giant pie eater who is not allowed to eat pies any more. He has a number of fiddles which he occasionally inflicts upon unsuspecting onlookers. He would be better singing. Andy began life as a pig (of the 'you're nicked, sonny' variety) and is now a bear. |  |
 |
Gareth |
Apologies first - Gareth's a Welshman, but he doesn't let that get in the way. He is our second box player. Gareth parties all night and sleeps at work - an unenviable task, but someone's got to do it. Gareth also wields a fine mandolin and plays jazz guitar - niiice! |
