Darren Woodhall: vocals/lead and rhythm guitar, harp and general band supremo!
Vintage = early '70s. Influenced by many bands - Quo, Satellites, Bad Company, AC/DC, Gallagher etc.
Equipment is always important, and you don't need huge Marshall stacks to achive a great sound. Darrens gear proves that:
Gibson Melody Maker
Fender Rossi Telecaster (as prepared by "Telemaster"), with Lace Sensor and HotRails pickups
1960 (ish) VOX AC30 with original Celestion Blues (and nice woodchip wall paper coating!)
2005 (ish) VOX AC30 (no woodchip on this one!!)
Boss ME50 Effects Board
Roland Guitar Synth
Dod booster pedal
Digitech Vocalist Performer
Andrew Austin: bass and backing vocals
