.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ................ .......... .... ....Rooters Classic Rock..............Create your badge.... The Rooters started in around 1992 from the ashes of previous bands The Armadillos and Killing time (more like killing music). Dave, John and Neil got together with John Taylor and formed a band playing music such as Gary Moore's Still Got The Blues and Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous, we also played a lot Dr Feelgood and blew a mean harp. The current set takes a bow to the likes of Queen, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Led Zep and Lynard Skynard..... This lineup survived for some time (who knows how long) along the way making onto the bike rally scene starting out in Wales at various locations. Unfortunately our drummer at the time ran a business making a lot of dosh, his choice was have fun with The Rooters or go and earn zillions, he chose the latter. Along came Dave Carnell, an excellent drummer who plays in many bands now a days, i will give a mention to only one that is Spitfire who like myself are mainly based in Rugby. With Dave in tow we became a little more rocky added AC/DC, Deep Purple, Metallica, Black Sabbath whilst retaining some of the Lizzy and ZZ top stuff. Again we played on having a good time till once again the drummer was faced with a choice of band or work, unfortunately work again triumphed. At this point we took on another drummer whose name i can't recall other than to say he lasted one gig and was given the boot. Neil, John and Dave were in the depths of dispair, who would drum for us, then one night in the summer Mo turned up to jam with us, we clicked, he was excellent and the best drummer in the known universe. Since this time the band have gone form strength to strength apart from the odd broken leg and suspected heart attack we are doing fine. We have played all over the country form Skegness, The Limelight Crewe, Carling Academy Birmingham main stage to Wales and deepest down south. We aim to entertain, have a laugh and give people a good time and drink as much beer as we can. The last few years The rooters have played regularly approaching the gigs with the plan to get the audience involved and have a rocking good night..... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ............ .. .. .. .. .. ..

....Rooters Classic Rock..............Create your badge.... Dave Hubbard base/lead and backing vocals and pumping rythms. Dave has been in the band since day one and has set the basic sound since those heady days in 1992 when the band first came out of the ashes of several bands. Mo Earle quite possibly the best drummer in the world. Mo quite literally saved The Rooters when he came along one summers night for an audition. Since then he has become family. John Mcvey lead and rythm and guitars, lead and backing vocals. I (neil) belive John is the best muscian i have played with, the guy rocks and is the icing on a Rooters cake. John has also been in the band since day one. We must Mention Gary our fantastic driver of vehicles and sound man. Gary does an excellent job for the band and we salute him. Another mention must go to Pip an excellent humper of materials, light man and listener to The Rooters soundchecks, Pip you are a star. Neil Kelly lead and rythm guitars, backing vocals. Neil has also been in The Rooters since the beginning enjoying both highs and lows. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ................ .......... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
Influences
Varoius and probably to numerous to mention, we look at bands like Deep Purple, inspired by Thunder and how they deliver a show, Lynard Skynard, Thin Lizzy, metallica, Black Sabbath and many more besides... .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Create a Myspace LED Scroller..
