Speedy Harris - Bass Guitar & Vocals


Speedy Harris, what can we say, nicest bloke you could meet, amazing bass player (tight as a knats wotsit), he's also a professional mad scientist (actually gets paid for blowing stuff up .. great !) and his phone will actually do the ironing and makes sure your wall is plumb all at the same time. Speedy hails from the North East, and loves nothing more in his spare time to take care of his 54 pet rats, disconnecting all the Tone Pots from his big collection of bass guitars and putting extra treble pots onto his amp to see how much top he can get out of his tweeters. A muched loved member of the band who, has to be said, does worrying hog the backstage mirror for far too long for a bloke (even more than Mr.Hurry !!)
