Simon "boffin" dumpleton has left the pilots for pastures folky.

When he played his accordion, people were often heard to say, 'wow he can really squeeze his organ!', when he played his bass they'd remark, 'i wonder how good he is on the one string?'

This dark horse from sheffield likes to vary his instruments ladies, but unluckily for you he's a one girl guy. One girl a night that is!

Simon is now in a folk band which may or may not be called the harlem pirates.



Could it be that Andy has also taken to the high seas, joined the harlem pirates, and is beating out a rousing shanty?

Probably not, though he may well be playing bossanova greats on a luxury cruise liner just off the coast of Newcastle.
