Dan Slowly - Bass guitar and backing vox
Dan has been playing bass since 1993 when he, guitarist Steve Jenner and a drummer friend formed band “Cold Tuesdays”. With many line-up changes along the way, Dan worked hard as bassist and backing singer, with Steve, practicing and booking gigs to bring the band from a 3 piece practice band, to a 7 piece large scale function band. Dan has also played with a number of artists and is bass player for top UK tribute Coolplay.
Dan’s style of playing is both dynamic and strong, laying down rock steady bass lines that allow both guitarist and keyboard player solid backing for effective lead play.

Steve Jenner - Lead guitar and backing vox
Steve started playing the guitar when he was 14 and played in numerous bands before joining 'Cold Tuesdays' in 1993 with Dan. He was approached whilst in an inebriated state in the local pub after the current guitarist left his guitar next to him whilst propping up the bar. The rest is as they say history. Steve's style of playing is very much rock based with a heavy blues influence, but is very capable in playing any style asked from him which is necessary when playing in a top covers band.
