Myna has been formed for only 4 months now.
It’s a five piece band that consist of some of the most controversial musician’s New Mills has ever seen.
The line up of this band includes, the genius of Ben Chadwick, he is both a bass-player and composer.
Also we are proud to say we have none other than Dave Booth behind the drum kit banging out the beats.
Next we have the legendary Rik Sullivan on rhythm guitar, who also sports a keen interest in drinking, and art.
We can also safely say that when Jimi Hendrix died, he was
re-incarnated into our very own lead legend Andy Calvert.
And last of all concocted in a field in Glastonbury in 81, and raised with real westerners, with cider as blood, the bollock gripping high pitching singer Dan Wiltshire.
We originally met in a local pub in the god-forsaken town of New Mills where Dan was the Deputy Bar Manager and Rik also worked part-time.
Rik had set up a band along with Chaddy (Ben) with a drummer and lead guitarist.
They managed to get Dan really drunk and accept the offer to join the band, it was semi-successful but alas, some of the band members had Different desires and flew the nest leaving just Dan, Rik and Chaddy.
A few months later When everybody’s money was low, they decided to reform the band, so they went in search of a drummer and lead guitarist, and low and behold, they found Andy and Dave.
Andy is the proud owner of a sinking ship and therefore could do with a bit of money to fill his leaking holes, so he agreed to join the band, Dave we found in a nest in our old drummers house, he had been trying to breed the perfect drummer and Dave was the closest thing, so we hatched him out, gave him a kit and he decided to stay.
We attempt to rehearse every week and manage to amaze the local wildlife and also the occasional hiker that wanders past the band room. The music we produce is….
Well…open to judgement, but we think it kicks arse.
On a serious note though, we are currently playing cover songs to please all the listeners but we are also working on some of our own material. The Stuff we are playing at the moment are things like, Rage against the machine, foo fighters, the crowes, lenny cravitz, but just when you thought it was getting as bit heavy to listen to, we have very lovingly thrown in a bit of Justin Timberlake and micheal jackson for good measure.
Our next plan is in fact to take over the whole world by storm and charge everybody an extortionate amount of money to come and see us, when we have risen a suitable amount we can then think about doing things for others in the community, like not swearing at people late at night when drunk, an giving up the old favourite, “Kick the dog” game that has amused the poorpers for years.
So, that’s us all wrapped up, I suppose now you feel like you know us really well and may even approach us in the pub, well feel free, but I will warn you, if you don’t buy us a drink, we will ignore you!!!!!
