We started in late 2002 playing in the local school hall when Keyboard Clive (who doesn’t come out to play with us anymore) got together with Craig and Neil.
Our first gigs were just the three of us and we played acoustic at folk clubs but very soon our networking guru and schmoozer Craig was easing us onwards and upwards: London clubs and great parties! .
We hooked up with Mike, first with his harmonica and djembe but now with full electro kit, and were soon gigging in our own right with Ray.
After a particularly enjoyable rehearsal we got a letter complaining about the noise.
The letter grumbled that “the culprits were a school governor and his adult pals”.
Recognising that ‘Adult Pals’ could be, lets say, interesting in a search engine we went for ”The Culprits”.
