Lead vocals
Lenny has been working throughout the Torbay area for over eleven years in many of the resorts hotels and pubs. Although he has been mostly working as a soloist, he has welcomed the chance to return to the place he loves... in front of a live band.
Lenny learned his trade at the bottom, he started out as a karaoke compere in and around south London and his home town of Aldershot. He still maintains a close relationship with his place of birth by way of Aldershot Town football club.

Lenny ,who is currently single and looking, has two daughters, one aged 20 and one aged 6.

Goldy

percussionist. Ok Drummer to you and me
Paul (Goldy) has been with the band since late last summer. He was the natural replacement for Alan George who had decided with his wife Shirley, to retire to greece. Since taking up the stool, Goldy has been tremendous, his passion cannot be faulted. Although self taught, Goldy has a fantastic style second only to "Animal" from the Muppets.
We were contemplating getting mikes for the drums, but as soon as Goldy hit the skins, we thought better of it. I believe the recent earthquake in late February had it's epicentre in Paignton where Goldy lives.

Lead Guitar and Backing vocals
As a sound engineer, Malcolm has worked with the best, David Bowie,James taylor, Elton John and the Beatles to name but a few.

He worked with toni visconti at the Trident recording studios in London where they recorded that all time favorite anthem "Hey Jude" for the beatles. You can find more about the Audio professor here

Malcolm is enjoying getting onto the otherside of the music industry and really loves the "Live" experience of being behind the guitar instead of the mixing console.

Ben Davey

Keyboards
What can I say about Ben? well he is a very keen member of the band. An accomplished pianist who is trained to the hilt. Just the type of band member required for Happydaze.

Ben, along with his father John (Bassist), being Torquay supporters tend to have a little banter with Lenny over their respective teams.


John Davey

Bass
John, came in very late in the day. He had to learn our tracks fast as within weeks of his arrival, we were back out on the road.
John as I have already said, is the father of Ben, so there was a fair bit of home practice going on just to make sure that he hit the ground running so to speak.
Outside of the band, John is a full time teacher. His subject is.... you guessed it, Music. That really helps as Lenny isn't really sure of the difference between A#,Bb or H# to be honest.

Techie and photographer
Techie? Er to be honest, well yes. Although not to the band, but a great working knowledge of all things mixer and amp. Not the reason I have had his pic put on here. The real reason is that he was responsible for taking the photos that are here,and I cannot afford the huge legal fee for not saying so :-)

Thanks for the pics Geoff

Nb: many more pics will be in the gallery page as soon as I have finished editing them
