Although Rock n Roll has always been his forte, Eddie loves going back every now & then to his crooner days thus always being able to deliver something for everyone’s taste.

Ross also has an awesome Voice, especially for his selected songs & punches out unreal backing vocals as well! Every dancer in the joined won’t be able to stop them selfs from tapping along to Mr Boom! Boom!

John Russell - Lead & Slide Guitars
A wonderful guitarist/musician. John started playing in the late 60's, early 70's and achieved some success initially with a band called Flake who had a hit with "This Wheel's on Fire" (during the record ban era). They followed this up with a couple of other singles that did quite well. John went on to play with Black Feather, Jeff St John, Phil Keyes' Band of Light and BB Strut. A master of lead, slide and dobro guitars, John is also a very fine songwriter and master of the double meaning, although the smut is all in the mind of the listener.

Theo Penglis guitar, keyboards, vocals
Bombora guitarist with the original Atlantics, has supported Chuck Berry and Chubby Checker on tour and has performed with Jerry Lee Lewis. In addition to session work for records, commercials, television, and movies, Theo has also been musical director for Johnny Rebb, Laurel Lea, Reg Lindsay, and Dinah Lee.
