About us
Fraser Weekes is the highly talented and respected doyen of South West guitarists, noted for his highly melodic playing and great interpretation of classic standards. He brings with him the finest of local talent, including master bassist Bob Marks, the son of a professional jazz drummer. Bob's first interest in playing the guitar started at an early age and at 12 he was a very competent Classical guitarist. He progressed in his early 20s to playing bass guitar. Over the years he has played in a very wide range of bands, from country to heavy rock, and trad jazz. In the 80s he toured with the rock band Blade, and in the 90s with Trigger (Medicine Bow), the country band.
The excellent pianist Mark Searle started piano lessons at the age of 5 then joined the Royal Marines Band Service as a pianist at the age of 16. With 3 years further training at the Royal Marines School of Music, he then went on to gain a total of 30 years experience as a professional pianist, playing all around the world at Weddings, Functions, on Cruise Ships, and on many occasions for British and Foreign Royalty and Heads of State, including Solo Piano for Her Majesty the Queen. An accomplished player in all styles, Mark has played at many major venues and high profile events including the Royal Albert Hall, London Boat Show, Horse of the Year Show, Wimbledon Finals, and at various Embassies throughout the world.
Keith Russell is a very versatile drummer, generally seen with popular bands including Vince Lee & the Big Combo or Jessica & the Rabbits but also is a regular with many other groups from rock to country to jazz and was seen at Plymouth Jazz Club recently sitting in with Russell Sinclair & the Smokin' locos.
