Formed in 1981, the original line-up was:

  • Colin Pheasant (guitar and vocals)
  • Ian Wilson (guitar and vocals)
  • Mick Haselip (bass and vocals)
  • Al Brodie (drums)

    I was the main songwriter and lead vocals, other musicians to have played with The Tapes were:

  • Tony Haselip (guitar)(recording)
  • Andy Still (bass)
  • Roy Walker (drums)
  • Roy Garlick (drums)
  • Some bloke called Andy from Brixworth (drums)
  • Alex Henderson (drums)
  • Big Jim from Corby (drums)

    (can you see a pattern forming??)

    Anyway, let's fast forward to 2000, when the line-up was:

  • Colin Pheasant (guitar and vocals)
  • Ian Wilson (guitar and vocals)
  • Andy Hempkin (drums)
  • Jeff Garlick (bass)

    ... into Premier Studios in Corby to record 'The Tapes' the album, finished in September 2001.

    The only overdubs are on 'You Know - I Know' and 'October Saturday'. All the rest were recorded live!
