Rogues Gallery

Besides our hero Mr Curtis and John Robb, the early prototype line up of Goldblade also consisted of the following three musicians ....

Drummer, Rob Haynes, a young sticksman with jet black hair (no, not the old scruff out of the Stranglers) who's pounding rhythms complimented Keef's playing style perfectly.
Rob is still with the band, apparently irreplaceable.

Wayne Simmonds, a live wire percussionist, tambourine player and regular audience invader shared the vocal duties with John Robb. Excellent vocal range. Well, I guess one of them had to have ;-)

Jay Taylor, Guitar hero for the nu soul warrior Punk generation. Power chord merchant par excellence. A vast repertoire of Manchester bands and musical projects have benefited from Jay's finishing touches.
