Band Bio                                                                   Taff – Lead Guitar and backing vocals A founder member of TWIN LIZZY back in 1996, Taff played in a number of Sheffield based bands before forming EASY STREET with John Bownes, Paul Fletcher and Roger Clayton. That was in 1995. Soon after they changed their name to TWIN LIZZY. After leaving the band in 1997 Taff played professionally with several bands including a two and a half year stint playing lead guitar with LIMEHOUSE LIZZY                                                                    Steve – Lead Guitar and backing vocals Steve is another Sheffield based musician. He has been pals with Taff and Roger C for many years. Coincidentally at the age of 14  during school lunch breaks, Steve and John Bownes started teaching themselves to play guitar together in Steve's mum's kitchen. Steve spent several years with Sheffield based original rock band TOKYO who built up a very good reputation for themselves. Remember them ?                                                                               Roger – Bass and Lead Vocals Roger has been playing in bands since his school days, covering genre's of music from rock to reggae and pop to punk. he has been a huge Thin Lizzy fan since the early 1970's and has not only had the pleasure of seeing them live on several occasions but also meeting the great man himself. Phillip Lynott was and still is the biggest influence on Roger's musical career. He is such a fanatic for the band that he even has a tattoo of the Black Rose logo on his left arm. Roger was a founder member of the northwest Thin Lizzy tribute band RENEGADE. During the six years he was with that band he had the pleasure of playing in front of and meeting Philomena Lynott on several occasions and also supported the Eric Bell band in May 2006. It has often been said by many people on many occasions that Roger's singing is the closest thing to Phil Lynott's vocals that they have ever heard. Come along and hear for yourself.                                                                                         Dave – Drums Dave started playing drums when he was 13 years old. After playing in a few local bands and not really getting anywhere he joined "The Pete Wadeson Band" and recorded the track " The thrill of the chase" for the album "Metal for Muthas 92". This was a Japanese release only. After this Dave joined the band Shadow Keep in 2000 recording the album "Corruption Within". The band played mostly in London but also gigged in Europe supporting Ronnie James Dio and Rob Halford. After Shadow Keep Dave joined the band Seven Years Dead with whom he recorded three mini EP's and scored a gig at the Bloodstock Festival 2004. From that date to this he gigged up and down the country with SYD until he left to join TWIN LIZZY. Dave is a great addition to TWIN LIZZY. He is currently playing a seven piece double base drum Pearl kit and as the fans that saw the two shows we played prior to writing this will confirm he is also a great showman. Amongst Dave's favourite drummers are Neil Peart of Rush, Brian Downey of Thin Lizzy ( of course ) and Tommy Aldridge. Behind The Scenes Graham  Graham is a long time pal of Taff and has been involved with TWIN LIZZY for a long time. He's to be seen at most gigs erecting the PA or wiring the lighting rig. Also drives the van and is very good at escorting young ladies from the stage :-)   Tony Tony is a massive THIN LIZZY fan. At gigs you will see him working at the mixing desk. He's a real VIP. responsible for the overall sound of the band on the night. Remember ( as the lads tell him ) if it's a good gig it's because we played so well, if it's a bad gig it's his fault.  :-)   Steve Steve is the man that looks after this website and along with Steve T takes care of all things technical. In addition to this he's also a dab hand with a welding torch. This is very useful when making drum riser's, lighting framework and heavy duty locks for Rogers wallet. :-)   Terry  Thanks also to Terry for all his great photo's. Cheers mate. :-)
