Band Members

Phil

After joining his first band "Oasis" in 1999, Phil spent his time on the road doing tours and gigs until 2002 when he decided to leave and join "The Red Hot Chilli peppers" which Phil described as a weird experience. After only 6 months Phil then again jumped ship and decided to form his own band "The Libertines". After 2 successful albums Phil decided that enough was enough after getting into serious fights with his band mate Pete Docherty. Although still friends the question on "will the libertines reform" remains a mystery. Phil then decided to work on some solo projects with Simon Crowell only to then form the almighty "Arctic monkeys". In August 2007 Phil then decided that "Guttersnipe" was the band he has always yearned for, and guttersnipe is going strong.

Nobby

Born in 1863 Nobby is officially the oldest person on the planet still to be involved in live rock and roll. Despite his considerable age Nobby is still capable of hammering out a mean rhythm drummers many years his junior can only dream of emulating. Unhampered by senility, hair loss & colour and a non-existent sense of humour, Nobby continues to perform at the highest level. During the past 121 years Nobby has featured in many bands Ц too many to mention here, so why exactly did Nobby agree to join Guttersnipe?

When interviewed recently his response was as follows: УЕthere is only so much bingo a geezer my age can endure so when Pete invited me to join Guttersnipe I jumped at the chance to play drums again. When it comes to knocking out 1977 punk classics no-one does it better than those young chaps from Guttersnipe Ц I felt honoured to be asked!!Ф

Brian

Brian was born in 1985 and is the son of legendary Brighton Centre Forward Peter Ward. His formative years were spent under the tutorship of FatBoy Slim in his Shoreham based nursery where the kids were encouraged to break dance, scratch records and get down with the hood.

At the age of 3 Brian wanted a new challenge with his life so moved to America in search of that dream. A chance meeting with Sharon Osbourne in a malibu bar put him in touch with 'Back Street Boys' manager John Wayne Gacy. Impressed by Brian's cool moves and maturity beyond his years John decided to get Brian an audition. He stayed in the band for the next six years and became part of an outfit that had four platinum albums and 6 Top 10 singles in the US billboard charts.

For the next 7 years Brian lived the life of a recluse on a quail farm in the Shetland Isles, selling eggs to the locals to make ends meet. After a chance meeting with his old mate 'Bono' in an American/Irish bar in Lerwick Brian decided to form a new boyband. This was in August 07, the band are called 'Guttersnipe' and the rest they say is history...........
