It all started in 1986 with a group of six guys. Who all came from the York area. They called the band The Bogus Brothers.     Tony and Nigel are the only two who have survived from the beginning. It started all with these young men, who have grown more mature now (or haven't they ...).

Jed thank a lot for your help, everybody lots of pleasure have fun.

                                    The Bogus Brothers used to advertise on another level as they do now. Nowadays there are more multimedia they can use, like the internet. This advertisement was printed in a free paper called "Your K Music" in December 1988. Yes, it is true The Bogus Brothers existed at that time. Only the Band members changed a bit through the years.

   The Bogus Brothers also had to sleep in the bus when they started playing all those years ago, when they drove from concert to concert. They still do, but hopefully not in the same sleeping bags. Meanwhile they changed busses, but the space is still very small for five men. The one who is driving has the most space but he has to stay awake while the other guys are sleeping.......snoring.

   The Bogus brothers started small. You can see this on the picture above. They just drove to a town square and get the instruments out of the bus and start playing and hope, that the people who pass by, like what they see and hear. This was the only way to promote the band. But as you can see they loved playing then, like they still do now.

  Who might this be?.....Have a close look and you will see who it is! Yes you are right it is the one and only Nigel. He used to have this ponytail but he found his way to the hairdresser. Let us hope it will stay of. 

The Bogus Brothers now:

Tony Williams aka Rudi:                                      Trompet, Keyboard vocals and sometimes he even plays the drums. He might be small but full of energy.

 

 

Nigel Nicholson aka Nico:                                      Trombone, guitar, keyboard en vocals. He is the one who tells the guys where to go and hopefully he will get them there on time.

 

Patrick McGarry aka Maka:                                Singer and entertainer. He is the one who lets many hearts beat faster.

 

Tim Loudon aka Posh:                             Basguitar and vocals. He is the youngest of the band.  

 

Paul Munday aka Archie:                                      He has been a new member of the band since October 2007. He plays the drums.
