Chris Pusey composer/multi instrumentalist A Virtuoso Guitarist from the UK who studied under Segovia Stands up with the likes of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dave Gilmour Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Chris's Biog I have listened to a large part of Chris's work and find his abilities can only be described as phenomenal. After begining to learn the drums at eight years old he switched to the guitar at twelve and won an award for ‘outstanding musical achievement’ in 1979 age 15 . In the same year he had his first taste of a ‘real’ recording studio where he recorded a song called ‘sitting on a bench’. During the 1980’s Chris toured with several bands - and worked with Rob Goss on a project that has taken ten years to produce and will be released in 2006. His career continued through the 80’s and into the 90’s as he trained as a sound engineer in various studios and worked on several projects alongside... During his early years Chris Would play for hours upon hours emulating his favourite players of the day, Jimi Hendrix, Jimi Page of Led Zeppelin, Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Chris has studied many of the more modern guitarists like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson as well as the classical players such as Andre Segovia, Julian Bream and John Williams. After launching his solo career back in 1999 Chris has had top ten hits in over 10 music charts these include seven no ones. Freeze, a video, music from the track Freeze, " Under The Northern Lights" 01 Martin Pleau said on 17/06/02 Chris Pusey is the ULTIMATE greatest guitarist of all time : in his songs, like Bohoo or Out of the Silence, he blends powerful emotions through the sound of the guitar : emptiness, loneliness, pain, joy, peace, power. The electric really haunts on some tracks. This is SO powerful. Review from CrossRhythms issue 74 Variations on a Theme There can be no denying that Chris Pusey is a phenomenal guitarist. His breathtaking fret board acrobatics have led many to compare him to the legendary Phil Keaggy. So, what of Chris's latest offerering? Pusey guides us through ten tracks, venturing across a broad spectrum of soundscapes. From the funky opener " The Battle is in the Mind" and the cool jazz of "The Call" to the solid rock guitar of "Ascending", Chris upholds his reputation as an instrumental virtuoso. Make sure you check out the inspired "Etude2 On a Theme of Paganini" with its latin-tinged beat, not to be confused with Franz Liszt's composition of a similar name. My personal favorite is the altogether more chilled "Angels" with its serene synths and Chris's epic guitar solo. Once again, Chris has delivered a fine instrumental album. But there will always be those who prefer the more conventional " Praise Him on the Noseflute" or something.... Aleem Hossain Marius (Rating: 10) "Superb." Paul (Rating: 10) "'OUT OF THE SILENCE' is another masterpiece writen , performed , and produced by the most talented Mr. Chris Pusey . This man is an inspiration to us ! It would be rare to find Instumental Melodic Rock of this quality anywhere else ! Please keep these exquisite harmonies coming Chris ! "

John Whitbread/vocals An amazing vocalist from the UK. The voice of an angel emulating and trancending the likes of Paul rogers( free ) Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) and Freddie Mercury (Queen). Biog John Whitbread is a very secretive individual who has been very illusive when it comes to biogs etc. We all think that he is infact an alien who has got stuck on planet earth!

Geoff (The Rhino)/Drums A percusion virtuoso old geezer with incredible multi-timing abilities. Geoff can quite easily live up to the likes of Ginger Baker Cream, Buddy Rich Keith Moon, The Who and Jon Bonham from the legendery Led Zeppelin. Geoffs Biog Geoff Yakov (The Rhino) 01/06/1926 Geoff is genuinely uncertain where he was actually born although an esteemed, if a little deranged researcher has recently found some trails that seem to point to Russia? The date he celebrates his birthday is based on an educated guess by one of the doctors who first examined him. What is sure is the fact that he was found at the Lost Luggage department at Paddington Station in London, rapped warmly in a brown paper bag. He was initially adopted by a very loving and kindly Jewish couple in Hendon, London who both sadly died in a tragic ballooning accident whilst on a touring holiday in Kenya. This incresingly resilient infant was miracously found alive, but in a critical condition at the devastated jungle crash site by members of a local tribal community who took him to a mission station where he was looked after by the Reverand Montegue Crampon and his lovely wife Edith. Edith became Geoffs’ surrogate mother and gave him some of the teachings that have proven to be the bedrock of his character and views on life, not to elaborate on his idiosyncranes? The Reverand (Very) was keen that Geoff should know all about his original history and as much as could be known was taught to him as soon as he was pysically & emotionally well & old enough to cope. Geoff grew in physical & spiritual strength which he puts down to one of Ediths’ more eccentric sayings; “Praise the Lord and eat a banana!” He also started to develop an overpowering love of ‘good tea’ (Many different strains & colours) which he also claims, adamatly, is part of the gaurded secret of his longevity and ability to still play incredible drum solos. He often visited the members of The Pokot tribe who had originally found him in a jungle clearing and spent a lot of time learning their crafts and skills. It was here that his drumming gift first took root, and is the reason he calls his drum kit his “Mobile phone.” One of the many & varied, & interesting friends he made as he grew up (strongly) with the Pokot tribe, Howtu Paradiddle, persuaded the young / keen and very adventurous Geoff to travel. Howtu Paradiddle had heard of a life that captured his youthful imagination to be found in the gold mines of South Africa. Ignoring the warnings of his surrogate parents, Geoff took off to the Witwatersrand Gold Mines where he soon found himself working in the dark & dank depths of the earth with the horrendous heat and incredible noise of the drills. His refusal to work separately to his friend meant his tribal connections at first only helped to isolate him from the white workforce and most of his black co-workers who came from other tribes and areas of the African continent. It was an incredibly tough life but Geoffs’ tenacity and ability to manhandle the huge vibrating drill for hours at a time earnt him the grudging respect of his peers and the Swahili nickname “Rayonaalseroahos” or simply, “rhinocerous” Geoff endured this ardious life for 2 years before deciding to come back up to the light and search for a new, refreshing challenge. It was then that he felt inspired to return and try to trace his roots to England. After returning to Kenya for a brief stay with the now very elderly Reverand Crampon and Edith, Geoff eventually said a final farewell and headed for the British Isles by working as a stoker on a tramp steamer out of Cape Town. Unknown to Geoff the captain was a regular smuggler of illegal weapons and stolen diamonds to the European continent. Whilst in harbour at Casablanca local custom officials, acting on a tip off from a gobby gangster whom the ships captain had cheated in a card game, raided the ship and arrested the crew. The rhino found himself caged. Prison life was initially terrible but after the years of toil spent thousands of metres below the African soil, he came to find it a doddle. Geoff began to drum and drum, day and night, on the bars of his cell singing, “Praise the Lord and eat a banana!” at the top of his voice until the prison governer sucummed to “bubonic ear bashing,” & finally gave in and had him released and deported on the first ship out of sweaty Casablanca. He found himself landing at “pee pale,” Plymouth, England, from where he travelled to the town of Barnstaple in North Devon. Here he started work on the sand barges. A tough life again. The barges would be taken out to the sand banks of the estuary of the River Yeo where Geoff and his fellow workers would jump out onto the sand at low tide armed with shovels and have the task of filling the barge with wet sand before the tide came back in. It was not long before Geoff found the job a bit boring. He decided to join the Royal Navy and soon found himself doing aggrevated active service on the seas off Korea. On shore leave Geoff happened along Jochannan and Aaron who were on a short break during one of their sets at The NAAFI club. Geoff invited himself up onto the vacant drum kit and started communicating with the audience using some of the stuff he had learned as a child with the Pokot tribe in Kenya. The brief encounter lasted for two solid days as the trio played to a full house non stop until they had to return to their units. This was the beginning of something, “A little sweeter.” Back at sea Geoff, again suddenly found the urge to drum overtly overpowering. Several of the crew on board HMS Skoda had to be treated for nervous exhaustion and also “ear & shell shock.” In the end it all became too much and he was cashiered out of the service before the end of the war. It has to be said that Geoff was only interested in drumming from now on. He tried out with the Temple drummers in the Far East but failed the audition when he gave them a three and a half hour rendition of “Praise the Lord and eat a banana!” He then joined a cruise liner (converted fishing boat) and played for ten years sailing all over the world. In 1981 he forgot to rejoin the ship at the Panama canal and ended up being forced to live in an old peoples institution until he was rescued by Jochannan and Aaron in 2002 who, after many attempts, eventually managed to track him down through the internet. They all returned to England to begin working on…………..?
