French
Freddy drums Fred ran away from home in Paris at 16 and came - for reasons no one's fully worked out - to Sheffield. His credits include folk rockers Stafford Galley, classic rockers CRF, and Dead by Friday. He works as drum tech for Bobby Arechiga (Strongheart) and Andy Edwards (Robert Plant, IQ) |
Sue
Cain vocals, mandolin Sue moved to Sheffield to join a Morris dancing side (really!). Her musical baptism came in the city through trad sessions and floor spots, and she's since taken to the stage as if she was born to it. Though she's been connected with trad music for some years, Silverwheel is her first band. |
Chris
McMahon guitar, bouzouki, bass, vocals Chris first rose to obscurity in cult prog rockers Haze, who toured endlessly to a small but worryingly dedicated audience. After hard rockers Strongheart he formed 'heavy wood' act Treebeard in '98. His tastes and CV are wide and he'll play anywhere they'll let him on. |
Peter
Rophone bass, guitar, vocals Peter has a long track record in acts no one's ever heard of. His CV includes a psychedelic improvisational band, indy rock, acapella gospel and escapades with the Tegwen Roberts big band, as well as ceilidh merchants, Roger the Badger. His guitars are silver. He jumps around a lot. |
