Clan Members
Stuart "Snake Fingers" McDonald Bass and Vocals
Stuart has always been into music- I say music his biggest influence is 10CC and that is hardly music. An accomplished bassist who says he knows where every note is on his guitar- I should hope he does!!
Stuart is also an accomplished corporate speaker who can nearly keep his head still whilst talking and has developed an excellent "posh voice" for dealing with persons who he considers to be important.
Stuart is the front man of the band as does an excellent job of announcing the tracks with his posh voice!
Stuarts pounding bass really cuts through and holds the band together and his vocals and harmonys are the extra "bit of something special" that The Clan offers audiences.
Steven "Chords" Eady- Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals
The "Elder Statesman" of the band! Steven has always been in the entertainment business and has nearly 80 years experience on the stage in various bands and as a solo artist.
Steven also makes up "extra cash" during the day as a Sven Goran Eriksonn double/ impersonator and recently opened Aldi in Platt Bridge as the famous football coach- he would also like to note that he "sorted half the female staff as well!!!!"
The Lead Guitarist and power vocal harmoniser- Steven could put a Harmony to a tractors engine and make it sound like angels farting.
Steven Recently introduced keyboards to the band and is The Clans very own Billy Preston!!
Michael "is this in tune Ste" McDonald- Guitar, Tambourine and Vocals
The youngest member of the band and the member who introduced "Atomic Shandies" to the drinking session after gigs- I would tell you what they are like but I can never remember drinking one!
Michael is a plumber by trade and is known in plumbing Circles as the "Lord Lucan of Plumbing" because no-one ever knows where he is or when he will turn up.
Michael adds a touch of youth to the band and brings in the modern tunes and acts to the band. Michael has an Excellent singing voice and also adds harmonies to the band!!
Michael is the one after a gig with all the audience around him. Not telling him how well he sang- or played the guitar but wondering when he is going to sort out their bathroom radiator!!
Gaz "Windscale Disaster" Edwards- Drums
The Heavy Metal Goth Laden Rocker Drummer has caused many a heart attack when turning up to play a wedding as the mother of the bride thinks she has booked Megadeath!!
An accomplished drummer who really can play in any style as long as it is easy.
Gaz is a "Job Tester" by trade- He tests jobs for other people to determine whether or not the job is any good. So far Gaz has not found a job he likes!
Gaz goes goes through drumsticks like rabbits go through carrots- he is currently using sticks designed by NASA for the Mars probe to test for durability- He still manages to break these!!
Andy "can you hear this guitar" McDonald- Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar and Vocals
The quietest member of The Clan who brings an air of professionalism to the proceedings.
Andy is the equipment king and has everything in his box of tricks needed for a successful gig- from Elvis specks to cowboy hats- Andy's role is important.
A shy guy who very rarely steps to the front of the stage but will do with some encouragement.
Andy has lots of performance experience- He sang every week on the back seat of the rugby coach such classics as "The Yogi Bear song" and "There's a woman in Black"- These songs have yet to be added to The Clan repotoire!!!
