OFF THE CHARTS

Paul
The keeper of all things time-related. Last year, Paul completed an undergrad and an MA in music and since then has been performing with several different bands, filling in at weddings, parties, and other functions. At age 27 he is the grandad of the band but still has a youthful streak to help him stay up to date with the rest of the guys. When not keeping lead guitarists in check he enjoys long walks on the beach and strong cups of tea.

Freddo
The lead guitarist of the band. He started playing guitar at 12 and, after lessons, started taking it seriously at 16. After studying music at a college level he took on a degree in Popular Music Performance at Chester University, finishing his studies with an MA degree. At age 25, as well as playing with OTC, he works as a guitarist for local Chester bands when they need a last-minute replacement. He also helps out the current University of Chester students with their assessments from time to time. Finally, he teaches electric and acoustic guitar.

Ellis
The bassist of the band. Ellis has loved music since before he can remember, he grew up having a variety of different influences so his music taste is a bit all over the place! He started off on piano during primary school and then moved on to electric/acoustic guitar during secondary school. He then studied music at college and University where he found his love for bass guitar, ever since he hasn’t been able to put it down! Aside from OTC Ellis works with an array of different musicians on different projects and does one to one tuition.

Gray
The baby of the band. As a multi-instrumentalist, Gray specialises in vocals, guitar, bass, and keys. Whilst studying a BA in Popular Music Performance, he also became a qualified vocal coach through BAST (Be A Singing Teacher). Fast forward to now and Gray is a known vocal geek who hopes to complete an MA in Vocal Pedagogy in the coming years. For now, at age 23, he delivers primary school workshops with Rock Kidz, teaches privetly and performs either Acoustic, Full Band or as a dep 4 nights a week.
