			Harold Salisbury, a veteran of the 60's jazz scene in London, Harold returned to the North West in the 70's and continued to be active on the local live circuit.Influenced from an early age by the sound of tenor pioneer Coleman Hawkins and alto legend Charlie Parker, Harold caught a MIles Davis show in Germany in the 1950's, whilst in the army band. He pursued jazz ever since taking inspiration form Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane and toured extensively with the Kenny Shaw band in the 1970's, and Fusion band Free Parking in the 1980's and 90's, alongside numerous engagements as a sideman. Latterly Harold has recorded with the Ken Stanton Archive, equally at home in the 'free' jazz idiom, tipping a nod to one of his other influences - Eric Dolphy. Of contemporary players Harold cites Kenny Garrett as his favourite.
	After several years in local bands, Dave Hardman attended the University of Salford on the Postgraduate Jazz performance program and has also studied privately with Berklee Professor, Garrison Fewell. The sounds of Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall and latterly Mike Stern were instrumental in his approach to the guitar.
			Phil Eaves has been a mainstay of the live circuit around the NW since the 1960's. A Self taught musican, Phil played in the Joe Williams Band, Jazz Fusion and Fully Qualified Survivors. His influences are wide ranging form James Taylor to Pink Floyd! - Whilst admiring the technical wizardry of drummers such as Dave Weckl, Phil prefers to let the drums be part of the overall texture, happy to let the music do the talking!
	Norman Helm learned his trade in and around the Kendal area and later went on to join Spiral Axis, Elevator and Ian Kirkham's (Simply Red) solo outfit - The Honeythieves. He cites Marcus MIller and Jaco Pastorious as his main influences.
