Having formed in 1986 from the remnants of a jazz/funk outfit "Pure Motivation", we've now evolved into the current line-up, comprising of nine musicians, that have been stable for the last eight, or so years. Fronting the band is the wildly charismatic "J.O." who's distinctive guitar playing and powerful vocals are complemented by the wonderful vocals of "Cherie" who also takes the spotlight on a number of tunes. Driving the band is "Joe 90" on drums and "Ricky T" on bass, many years together have made them one of the tightest rhythm sections around. The melodies are provided by "Roger" on keyboards, - as the only "Full time Pro" in the band, there are times when his diary clashes with ours, on these dates we are joined by the "Crazy Fingers" of Colin Smith. Then, we come to the infamous "GeeBaby Horn Section", almost a show in their own right, Martyn "Hot Lips" Harries on trumpet, "Savio" on trombone, "Chiff" on tenor sax and "Nick" on alto sax. -

The early years were spent on the south and south west circuits, "Tuning" our skills and developing our reputation for reliability and professionalism, before long we were playing all over the U.K. and occasionally Europe. We've played at a number of festivals, - Womad, Trowbridge folk, Bristol Harbour, Ashton Court, The Newt Beer festival, to name but a few. During this time we also had the pleasure of either supporting, or touring with, the likes of James Brown, Maceo Parker, The James Taylor quartet and Jools Holland's big band, amongst others.
