'Then Came The Wheel' comprise
of four great musicians; Doug Morter, (guitar and vocals), Alan
Thomson, ( bass and guitar), Arran Ahmun (drums and percussion),
and Foss Paterson ( keyboards).
Although having known each other
for many years and played together in a variety of combinations,
it was only a few years ago that through
a series of events and Doug's involvement with guitar accomplice
Jerry Donohue, that all four had the good fortune to share a stage
together one evening in Oslo. There was an obvious and immediate
chemistry that prompted the guys to stick together for a while.
Interest
was keen and venues and promoters alike saw that there was something
potentially special here.
Two years down the line sees the completion
of a first album; 'I
Think I Will Fall.
This album offers a taste of the band’s
own unique blend of R&B which has an impressive and solid
musicality to it and a rich soulful strength in songs.
With
a collective background that has seen them play and record
with artists such as; John Martyn, Phil Collins, Andy Summers,
Jerry Donohue,
Julia Fordham, Clannad, The Waterboys, Robert Palmer, Fish,
Linda Lewis, Alison Moyet, and many more, the band have drawn
on and
utilised their creative experiences, patience and good humour
to produce something
that's hopefully very accessible to most ears.
