The-Plan

The Plan was created in late 2004, but due to members leaving, new ones joining, they didn't really play any gigs.
It all began when (now ex-member) Dave and Keech (Vocalist, Guitar, and Trumpet) had just finished another band, and they decided to start a new band. Keech to Wayne (Bassist) online for a while before meeting him. Wayne could play guitar and was moving down to Canterbury in Kent, which is near Faversham (where the band is based). So they ended up getting him in.
