The Band-

     

Lee (Lead Singer) - Hi, I'm Lee, singist with the Retrofits. I'm passionate about football and am a massive fan of Hull City.
Wembley simply was the best day of my life!
I love music too, with a very varied, and sometimes questionable, range of taste!
From Lionel (legend), to Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, trance and even chillout at times. Depends on the traffic at the time, lf ya know what I mean! Don't mind the occasional beer (haha).

 

     

Andrew (Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Backing Vocals) - Hi, I'm Andrew and I live my life according to the gospel of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Other musical heroes include Bob Dylan, Oasis, The Who, Paul Weller, Simon & Garfunkel, The Cure, Kings Of Leon, Radiohead, Kaiser Chiefs, U2, Brian Wilson, Johnny Cash, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Graham Coxon, Queen, Sandy Denny, Kate Bush and Rufus Wainwright (check out Andrew's Last.fm page).

I am a massive Hull City fan, and would like to point out that if I ever sound like Alan Partridge in conversation, it's mainly deliberate.
This is my 2nd band, after being in The Blitz with drummer Nigel in the late '90s.

     

Rory (Keyboards, Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Backing Vocals) - Originally from Scotland - the green and pleasant land of Del Amitri, Bay City Rollers, bad diet, poor quality footballers and moaning as a national sport - I have pursued my career as a failed songwriter and musician in many UK locations over something like quarter of a century. And this is it. The fulcrum. The acme. My undeniable musical destiny. Keyboards and guitar in The Retrofits.

As a fellow rhythm guitarist once said..."it's a shit business". Yes my friends, I have become the real-life Les McQueen.

Though Paul won't let me wear that light blue jumpsuit with the inflatable collar on stage, the wee fat meanie that he is.

     

Paul (Bass & Backing Vocals) - Hi, I'm Paul, the Big Daddy of the Band, what can I say, music is my life, I suppose my musical career started at school, my favourite musical instrument at that time was the Dinner Bell!.....
Musically, I like just about anything, but mainly rock music, favourite Bands include, Journey, Toto, Def leppard, Bryan Adams, also much of the new Guitar based stuff (check out Paul's Last.fm page).
I'm into armchair sports, I've supported Leeds United for over 40 years.
I have also been known to particiapte in a few beers, which has lead me to be the founder member and self elected chairman of the "Beeford Grumpy Old Mens Club"
Favourite sayings: Live the Dream !

 

     

Nigel (Drums) - Hi, I'm Nigel, the drummer who will not be silenced! I'm mainly in to 80's music such as U2, Simple Minds etc. I've played in several bands since the early '90s, including No Return, The Blitz (with Andrew) and now, obviously, The Retrofits!
