AndyButler
Keyboards, backing vocals
Andy started out playing on the London circuit during the eighties, alongside
such names as T’Pau and It Bites. He gravitated towards session
work, working with artists as diverse as Tom Jones, Malcolm McClaren,
David Stewart, Mari Wilson, Captain Sensible and Rosebud. Tail Lights
has tempted Andy back into gigging – playing music he loves with
great musicians – who could resist?
Nigel Ball
Bass, backing vocals
Nigel has played and toured extensively throughout the U.K., Europe, Thailand,
India and Latin America, absorbing the musical influences of the continents
to become a melting pot of varied styles. He’s being playing professionally
since he was in his mid-teens and is as cool and funky a bass player as
you could want.
Chris Grout Smith
Drums
Chris has played in many varied professional bands over
the years, from Soul, R’n’B, Latin through to Fusion, Jazz
and Blues – you name it, and solid as they come. Together with Nigel,
Chris forges the tight, driving rhythm section that is the backbone of
the band.
