Si - Lead Vocals

Si is the frontman of the band and is the focus of attention. Let's be fair, who could miss him? Standing over 6 feet 3 inches in height, he towers above every other member of the band.

Si say's: "Forget all the other pages this is the important one. I'm the star of the show and the rest of them are only there because I haven't got myself a decent backing tape yet. Next year I'll be on X-Factor and then you'll all believe me. Its true I'm a star people just haven't realised it yet. They will one day, then they'll be sorry. I'll be on stage playing to millions, I'll have my own jet and groupies and I'll only ever eat blue Smarties and drink Russian vodka. They will make an Xmas specials about my life and you'll wish you were me.................Arrrgghh the penguins they're here..............The penguins are stealing my sanity..................."

Quick nurse get the screens!

Favourite Bands?
At the moment it Muse. Others include Skunk Anansie, Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Deftones, Aerosmith, The Cult, U2 The Doors, Rage Against the Machine and I do like a bit of Frank!

Mic
A radio mic is a must if you wanna run around a pub like a prat! I use an EM 100 G2 receiver with the low feedback SKM 145 G2 handheld transmitter.

I always carry a spare SM58 Beta (although Jakey nicks it).

Mic Stand
Its a one off 2005 Grobbo Special. Made by an eccentric designer in Thornton who has too much sheet metal and loves power tools.

Throat
For some reason squealing like a girl for 2 hours in an evening can take its toll on the throat. To keep it all well lubricated I'm a walking medicine cabinet.

Fingers or pick?
Neither, its got to be tongue every time. I just love the taste. (Was that not a question for me?)
