- I play lead guitar and sing backing/harmony vocals in the Oxfordshire-based covers band Growler. We play a selection of songs from the 1960s to present but tend to avoid the more commercial songs as everyone else does those so we play a lot of the more obscure songs by popular bands. We recently played at the Gloucestershire MAG rally and it's our intention to become more heavily involved on the UK bike rally circuit, as that's where our sound belongs.
