Previous Bands Crossroads (1995 - 1999), including Dave and Geoff in its line up, started out as a vintage rock covers band playing a lot of Cream, ZZ Top and Free. However we started writing songs and released 2 albums of original material (‘Its Not Out Fault’ and the self titled ‘Crossroads’). Our greatest strength was gigging - which we did a lot of! We averaged 3 gigs a week for almost 4 years around the North East pub circuit. We also appeared at the Heineken music festival and appeared on TV 3 times. Dave Whiffin had an on air interview with Virgin shock jock Nick Abbot who loved the ‘Its Not Our Fault’ album. We also had the dubious honour of Radio 1’s Steve Wright canning one of our songs on air on his primetime breakfast show (his mates on the production team really liked the song though!)Crossroads were: Dave Whiffin - Guitar / Vocals
Stealer (1996 - 1999). Featured Mark on drums and Dave on bass and lead vocals. We had a successful couple of years on the local pub and club circuit playing a wide range of rock music which was heavily influenced by bands such as Free and Bad Company (our band name was a tribute to one of Dave's favourite Free songs, The Stealer). The band was particularly popular in Northumberland where they like their rock music. We have fond memories of playing to wild audiences in Ashington's legendary but bizarrely named rock venue, "Bubbles Wine Bar". We featured at a number of other larger events including the Cramlington Music Festival around 1997. |
