Artist History Formed in 1995 as an unofficial rehearsal band for students at the City of Leeds college of music to realize original compositions and arrangements. Continued for two years, playing a number of succesful concerts around the college, before being forced to disband in the third partly due to other commitments (ie finishing degrees) but mainly due to the college moving to new premises and refusing to provide rehearsal space. These recordings were made during a concert at the band's peak, in the college recital room on the 5th of Febuary 1997. I post them here mainly to provide a little posthumous exposure, but also as a reminder.. now we have all graduated, many of us are still living around Leeds, and the band may yet rise again.

Group Members James Russell, James Corry, Bill Forester, Richard Ormrod, Terry Allingham, Alex Cardy (saxes) Brian Davis, John Cuthell, Geffen Sanders, Robbie Robson (trumpets) Chris Taylor, Gareth Hall, Jenny Roach, Alex Oliver (trombones) Mike Jackson (piano), Ben Morris (Guitar), Colin Sutton (Bass), Gideon Marcus (drums).
