Will And The People

Will, Dan and Noddy met in brighton at college 4 years ago, they all had different bands and used to (and still do) play and party together...a lot... Tills (keys) met Will at a piano bar in the after-hours sometime in 2006, Will was mightily impressed seeing him on the ivory - he was also a doctor.... so it was a no brainer for Will! They had to Jam! It was sweet as pineapple when they did the next day, and Tilley was in the gang. Max Tempo (drums) saw Will by himself playing in a tiny gig in Brighton around the same time, with a loop pedal, a guitar, and only bar-staff for company.
