  Echo Bandits - Rock Covers Band in the Forest of Dean
Paul - Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar

Former drummer for the popular Ross-on-Wye band 'Roadworks' back in the 90's, Paul went on to form  'Eclipse' and fronted them for over 10years. "They were all great times" say Paul, "But echoBANDITS have some of the best players for miles around and I'm happy to be back out there gigging" Loves all gigs but prefers a rowdy pub crowd.

John - Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals and Harmonies

John plays guitar and is probably mostly associated with lead (or at least he likes to think so). He sings harmonies and even a few lead vocals but he doesn't consider himself a good enough singer to do too many. Loves powerful hooks, strong melodies and loads of harmony. His background is with rock guitar having played in many local Forest of Dean and Gloucestershire bands such as Geneva, No Sympathy, Independence, The Men From Bars and Skin Deep. Now there is the echo Bandits......

Ian has been playing bass since the age of 16, from local pubs and clubs to hotels in the Middle East and Asia.
Has played rock for the rockers, pop for the poppers and even some country and western, in fact, will play anything if there’s a couple of ciders involved!
