Sam Gibbons :
I cant bare slavvering on about myself so heres the most I'm going to say. Its shortly coming up 5 years since I started production mainly thanks to Graham Lord of The Audiowhores who I met at the wonderful now finished Out In The Sticks night in my local town of Todmorden. I love good music of all kinds and production is my (expensive!) hobby. I pretty much do every part of the production stage myself and pride myself on doing the best possible pieces of music using the most authentic sounds possible. I'm under no illusions that the real stars of most of my music (some are me playing!) are these dudes below. God bless um!!

Sax, Flute & Trumpet
The Hive :
First time I met Hive he was playing in the Jazz Quartet with Barney on keyboards. He looked very scary with blank almost evil stare going on. Turns out hes as friendly as can be but when hes playing he gets this crazed look on his face. Bloody great sax player and has belted out some awsome stuff for BackRoomSounds over the last couple of years.



Special Skill:
Shit eye stare

Percussion
Richard Young :
Bob Hoskins look alike Richard is one serious rhythm machine. With timing to put a MPC to shame he effortlessly plays drums or tuned percussion like hes having a nap. Also named the laziest man in percussion he can take some motivating but trust me its worth it! I'm still trying to arrange a session with him on vibraphone... watch this space (not litrally)



Special Skill: Being Lazy
Chosen weapon:
Huge Perc Setup
