Biographies ... David Mann, guitar and vocals, is actually a Freudian psychotherapist in his day-job! For more information see his web-site: www.counsellingtherapysoutheast.co.uk At school he played the clarinet but found his true form of musical self expression when he took up the guitar. His guitar influences are the usual suspects: Richard Thompson, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Robert Fripp, Jimmy Page --- but he honestly can’t play half as well as any of them! His song writing reflects influences from his wide taste in music: though essentially rock, there are shades, notes, colours, tones and rhythms from blues, folk, Latino, classical, jazz and world music. He has always had trouble writing his own lyrics. In his teens he put poems by William Blake, Lewis Carroll and others to music. These days he co-writes with his partner, Michelle, who puts the words to the voice of The Freudian Slippz. Michelle MacGrath, lyric writer, is a published poet. She has been writing and translating poetry since her early twenties. She started writing poetry to record key events, ideas, observations and moods. She has been writing songs with David for 2 years and in that time they have written more than 100 songs together. Bryan Westbrook, Played guitar for many years, took up the bass two years ago, guitar influences include Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, BB King to name a few, bass influences the likes of Jack Bruce, Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, Mel Schacher, Andy Fraser the list is endless. Band experience mostly in the 80's, most successful being the MW Band who once supported a group called the Look with their hit tune being 'I am the Beat'. The MW Band was also featured on radio Kent at that time and one of our tunes called Radio was their song of the year. I have just joined the Freudian Slippz (March 2012) enjoying playing bass to their interesting melodic sounds, I also enjoy playing jazz with a very good friend of mine namely Melvin Kean who is a fantastic guitarist. Gordon Fraser, drums and backing vocals, started playing the drums at school in the 70’s, he was in a couple of school bands and has been playing on and off with friends ever since. After a period of not playing but feeling that something was missing in his life he dusted off his kit and joined the Freudian Slippz in January 2010 and has been enjoying making music with David and Steve ever since! Gordon is also a Computer Consultant, for more information his web site is www.1canhelp.com You can find out more about The Freudian Slippz on: YouTube My Space Contact David Mann for band availability on 01892 541917 or Gordon Fraser on 01435 866575 Our Gig Dates are listed HERE on Band-Me-Up |
