DAVID "FLUFF" FORTUNE - Lead Guitar & Vocals

Fluff's interest in Pink Floyd began around 1973. "I would normally listen to Slade and Alice Cooper. My older brother and his mates would come round to our house smelling of patchouli oil, wearing afghan coats, loons and tie-dye shirts! They would bring round their Floyd and Zappa records. The music that stood out for me at the time was Meddle by the Floyd and Are You Experienced by Hendrix".




BEN APPLEBY - Saxophone, Vocals & Percussion

Ben has been playing the Sax for over 15 years. In that time he has assimilated a modern style which maintains his soulful character in every musical situation.
