THE BAND & FORMER MEMBERS
Jason Appleton
LEAD VOCALS
Jason is the lead singer and started singing in the choir (hahaha) . Influenced by Elvis and The Eagles. What started out as just bit of fun, who knew it was going to lead where it is today , still just a bit of Fun ! haha.

Mick Starling
BASS GUITARIST/VOCALS
Mick started life as a Hucklebuck and remains so to this day . Im not sure if hes told you but "He once supported The Beatles !!" But his highlight of his career was being asked to play with The Casemakers LOL
Andrew Gray (Drew)
DRUMMER
Andrew has played drums all his life and been in numerous bands , most notable" Pinto" a well known local band . Drew is the Glue that holds us altogether !! So it was an honour for him (I mean us haha) to join the band
Johnny Starling
Lead guitarist
Well what can we say, the man is a legend. Influenced by his Dad and started at a young age and was a natural !! Im obviously talking about him having children (6!) . But hes a phenomenal guitar player too :)
David White (Chalky)
Rhythm Guitar
Chalky started playing the Guitar, God knows when , it sat in his bedroom for years and occasionally learnt a chord , but realised when the punk scene started a few chords was enough. However some say (I think it was his Mum ) " It is his natural guitar playing ability which has ,excelled the other members of the band to greater heights "LOL
Mike Hyde (original Former Member )
BASS Guitarist
Mike was one of the first members of the band and was a great Bass player and typical of one relaxed and chilled. Which was great as Jason was a bit hypo back then haha. Mike had played bass with another band but he jumped at the chance after he started work at the casemaking division and its not true he would have been sacked if he had said No LOL
Keith Massingham (Hank) original former member
DRUMMER
Hank was one of the original members. His roots were always rocknroll and was a great drummer playing with different local bands before joining the The Casemakers . Hank is presently touring the United States! ( well im not sure he is touring but he now lives there ) and we Miss him !!
