Drumming the Changes!

The Bounty Hounds are thrilled to announce the arrival of new drummer, Shaun Finch! Following the departure of our previous drummer, Steve, we have been extremely fortunate to find a fabulous replacement via a relatively painless process. We had a couple of enquiries initially, and decided to hold trial rehearsals. We didn’t get past the first one! Shaun turned up, with his lovely Tama kit, and brought a brand new energy and enthusiasm we couldn’t ignore. Job done!

We’d just like to thank him for wanting to play with us, as much as we want to play with him. It’s a completely new musical direction for Shaun, coming from a drumming background of pure rock. However, there are strong folk connections within his family and our varied style seems to float his bounty boat!

So now we’re working hard to prepare our set in time for upcoming gigs in November, which brings me neatly round to the exciting news that we will be joined, on the 1st November at the Weeping Willow, by none other than Rob Longfoot, original Bounty Hounds drummer back from the days of Slow Roasted Duck! Rob left the band a year ago to have a baby (!!) and is just back from getting married in Cyprus. Congratulations Rob & Amy!!

Rob has kindly agreed to dep for one night only, and I’m really looking forward to it - I’m sure the old slow roasted magic is still there!

Thanks also to Steve for coming this far with us. Hope to see you, Mel and the pups at one of our gigs in the future.

So exciting changes, new blood and old.
