Birds of Prey (Bird & Bird) comprises:

Chris Holder (lead vocals) - 6ft 4in. Singer.

Rhys Williams (guitar) - Growing up in a small cabin in the Cambridge Delta, where the alluvial soil and pancake-flat vista of the Fenland geography was slavishly copied by early American settlers when they built the Mississippi Delta, Rhys is primarily a bluesman, and more particularly a light bluesman.

Simon de Broise (guitar) - Simon plays guitar, and he rocks. That's all you need to know.

Dean Jones (drums) - Dean started playing drums because he likes hitting things, and because hitting people is illegal in some jurisdictions. The rest of the band are hoping that his rhythm behind the kit is better than on the dance floor. Despite being in Birds of Prey, Dean doesn't like Birds. He has never been to an aviary.

Lev Gurdenli (saxophone, vocals) - Hailing from the streets of Istanbul, this Turkish delight plied his trade playing traditional folk music in the Grand Bazaar before he was scouted by Birds of Prey's manager  to play in his "uber band" back in 1997. Taking up the saxophone because he wasn't cool enough to be in a rock band, this jazz impresario's musical talents extend mainly to playing basic porn grooves over cheesy baselines. Brought in principally to stay in the shadows and provide rhythmic jazz finger clicks, this guy is living his dream. Rock on.

Tessa Finlayson (keyboards, vocals) - Known for her giggle, rather than her keyboard wizardry, Tessa is one Jock who struggles to rock. She was a master musician at the age of seven (although there is no place for bagpipes in our set), however she may be a little rusty these days. Never one to shy away from a challenge though, she is our keyboard player, backing vocal extraordinaire and, given the opportunity, stylist and choreographer to the band - uh oh!

Jon Goldsworthy (bass, vocals) - The resident metaller. He can't write witty biographies but he can play bass rather well (if you happen to like the soundtrack to Grease).
