Drinks Rum

Table Tennis Ability – Refined and Elegant in Heels

Jon

Plays guitar with sufficient aplomb that he is now the Lead guitarist of the Ensemble – a writer of TV theme Tunes for the channels in the upper reaches of Sky, with a love of classic Rock and whose mastery of the guitar is held in high esteem by his Mother.  Smooth talking and Smooth playing, an effortless worker who occasionally goes into an office but mainly sleeps when he gets there.

Drinks – Cheap Lager

Table Tenis Ability - Excellent on Quarter sized tables

Richard

A Brummy metalhead with an eclectic repertoire ranging from classic rock to new age hardcore and all in between. Played with Steve in Red, and was asked to Join the Jon Mayall Band for a US tour but overslept, missed the phone call and consequently the flight.  A fluent, effluent bass lieutenant with kinetic fingers that prey like face huggers over the fretboard (he said). Rich lives for the pocket and lets the Zebras know what key they’re in and if it’s the same as his.

Table Tennis Ability - Melancholic

Rob

Is Bonkers – well he is the drummer, more often now found on the right side of the Law if dressing up permits. Founding member of the Badgers which after meeting with Jackie melamphaid into the Zebra we know and love today. Rob first entered the music business in his late teens when his father bought him a record player. Needed to join a band due to having a fridge full of beer and a discount card at his local restaurant Will play only Gretsch drums, his Ludwig kit having been repossessed by the finance company.

Drinks – Expensive Red Wine

Table Tennis Ability – Fair to Middling. 

Steve

Apparently, the Musical Director (sometimes musical and sometimes directionless) of the ensemble. Misspent Youth in Rock and Roll- played guitar in Birmingham NWOBHM Band Red with Richard, before touring with Dire Straits and Motorhead and only retiring from the road after they stopped staying in Holiday Inns and started staying in Jails (well at least you got your belongings back in the morning). Owner of a vast collection of upside-down left-handed guitars all built in the shed.

Drinks – Any Red Wine
