The Blackjacks: Brighton-based rhythm and blues band featuring the National Harmonica League champion of the year 1999, Wanderin' Wilf Taylor. All the usual suspects are here, and if you ask me, they look guilty as hell... New album High Roller out now!

VaVaVaVoom: is a club night in Brighton run by Stella Starr. Steve and Rory both play in the house band, The Dimestore Jive Revue. As Stella says: "These are professional world-class jazz musicians doing a range of classic standards. In May 2001 we performed in New Orleans, as part of the first ever Burlesque Festival called Tease-O-Rama 2001. We were honoured to be the only performers to be invited from Europe, and are hoping to perform there again, as well as in other countries." Check it out.

Louis Borenius: Tub-thumper extraordinaire for many bands including The Blackjacks, Big Chief, The Bop Brothers and The Dimestore Jive Revue. He also plays the silicon mallet (the whut?) with his own red-hot latin jazz band, Coup D'Etat, and with his collaborator on the Chapman Stick (the whut?), Jim Lampi.

Bob Weston: Guitar-meister for Fleetwood Mac '73-'75, king of the blues and all-round survivor, Bob's got a fantastic new record out called "There's a Heaven" produced by Rory Cameron and featuring great songs and stunning performances from the likes of Max Middleton, Lianne Carol and Roger Carey.

Steve Ellis: The excellent singer and all-round geezer, ex of Love Affair, Widowmaker and The Ellis Band, has his own site at which you can hear samples from his great new album, "Pavement Arena". Guess which tracks Rory's playing on...

Steve Fairhead: The computer guru and jolly good egg(head). Has an extensive funnies page and links to many other groovy sites. We are indebted to him for the hard work he has done on this one.

PC Green: Featuring Steve Fairhead as the guitar-slinging-bizarre-shirt-wearing half of the Brighton rhythm and blues duo (you'll believe a man can stand on one leg...), also featuring Rory on vocals and gob-iron (you'll believe a man can't stand on two legs...).
