They were instrumental in setting up The South, along with former Beautiful South members Damon Butcher, Tony Robinson and singer Dave Hemingway.

Tony and Damon have since moved on to pastures new. And since Dave left the group at the end of 2016, Gaz has now moved across to vocal duties.

The current line-up also includes Phil Barton (guitars), Steve Nutter (bass), Dave Anderson drums), Karl Brown (percussion), Gareth John (trumpet), Su Robinson (saxophone) and Andy Price (keyboards).

And with the new reshuffle now complete, The South are a full team again and raring to go!
