Rob Barker - Guitar/Keyboard
How many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?
Twelve, one to change it and eleven to say they could do it better.
Rob, classically trained on sax and piano, was the founding member of the band. Started off as bass player before switching to rhythm guitar to facilitate his talent as a pianist. Wrote some of the early songs and takes control of all our rehearsals like a manager. Still has reasonable input with the song writing. Can play more instruments than Davo can name and yet remains stuck to the stage/floor when given a guitar.
