Previous Experience The Scoundrels are all highly trained professionals having performed on TV and radio, in London’s west end theatres and having also toured and recorded extensively with pop royalty including Gloria Gaynor, Corner Shop, Suzi Quatro and Patti Boulaye to name a few.
Working as a musician has taken lead singer and guitarist Dave all over Europe and given him the delight of playing on BBC radio and in many of the UK's best jazz clubs, hotels, restaurants, festivals, theatres and recording studios. Dave's career has seen him performing with Kristyna Myles and Andy Prior along with members of The Kooks, The Cinematic Orchestra, Lamb and Aim. Dave also teaches guitar and music technology part time and works occasionally as a consultant producer and sound recordist.
Adam's distinctive piano playing has been noted for the diversity of its stylistic reference points. Having won multiple awards for his jazz piano playing, Adam has attracted keen media attention and sold out venues on most of his recent European tour. Adam won the Take 5 scholarship in 2010 and recently wrote a commissioned piece for the Manchester Jazz Festival. Adam's album's have been well received by critics and the public alike - his latest creation "The Imaginary Delta" is due out in April this year. Adam is also a well regarded educator of music as a course leader at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Despite his playful and often witty approach, Barry is a key player in the UK soul and funk scene! He has played bass in Kristyna Myles' band since 2005 and features on her debut album (due out on Decca September 2012). Barry has performed at music festivals all over the world; T in the Park, South X Southwest, Glastonbury, Montréal Blues Festival and has undertaken several European and US tours.
Gareth is an in demand drummer hailing from Cheshire. His work encompasses a wide variety of musical situations. Gareth's live work sees him performing and touring all over the UK, Europe and Canada including work on Brittany ferries, countless music festivals and the QM2 (Cunards flagship cruise liner). Session work includes the Royal Variety show and sessions live on BBC Radio 1, 2, 3 & 5 Live including shows from Mark Radcliffe, Giles Peterson, Jamie Cullum and Stuart McConey. He also did the drumming for the "Bob the Builder" Movie! Gareth is also an associate lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University.
