Barn Dance Band

Colin (1) - alias Stratman (but playing a Telecaster in the photo!) plays lead guitar and melody. With over 25 years experience playing traditional dance music Colin draws on his eclectic influences (folk, country, rock and classical) to make the music both contemporary and exciting. Colin also teaches guitar (see our Contacts page)

Frank (2) - Bass Guitar. Frank started his musical career in the 60`s playing rock/R&B venues across the country, recording LP's (what do you mean you've never heard of them!), doing the obligatory tour in Germany and culminating in a three month spell in the Middle East. The early 70`s saw him touring the country doing cabaret work and doing recording sessions for the BBC.

Chris - Drums. Chris is the newest addition to the Rogues line up. He is studying a degree in music at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford. Primarily a guitarist, when he's not playing for Rogues. Chris is a Singer Songwriter and can be found playing in small venues in Surrey and London.

Guests - We may also bring along other musicians (at no extra charge to you) from time to time, for example Ian on Melodeon (Who also plays with Random, and Pitchfork) and, if one of our regular Rogues is not available, substitute one of our deputies.

In memoriam - Roger Nicholls, our drummer for almost 10 years, set up this website for us but, sadly, he died of cancer on 14th March 2002. Helen, who then looked after the site, sadly passed away on 12th April 2003.
