Meet Last Orders
Meet our first member Adam. He thinks he is at the top of the list because he thinks he’s our most talented musician, unfortunately it is an alphabetical thing.
​
Guitarist, vocalist and general mouthpiece Adam first started playing the guitar around 2015ad, and has continued to play badly since then.
Adam, the self appointed ‘musical director’ would always rather be playing Oasis songs, and is hopeful that one day Last Orders will morph in to either an Oasis tribute band, or a ska/two tone/reggae band, but lives knowing that this will inevitably never happen. Catch him on stage shouting, being a menace to the other lads, losing concentration, or making jokes about the audience.
Favourite Last Orders song: I bet you look good on the dancefloor
Drink of choice: Guinness (and black if he’s feeling fruity)
Here’s Jim! Taking inspiration from Hendrix, Page and Greenwood, Jim would prefer the term "virtuoso" instead of Simon's description of him ("show off").
​
When not on the 15th Bar of a solo, he can be found buying new pedals, buying and eating 6 bags of crisps, or buying and eating Indian starters. One half of JimDam covers duo with Adam. Oh, and did you know, you can always tell the health of your watch by Jim. If he turns up to rehearsals on time your watch is probably knackered.

Likes: Guitars, pedals, beer, savoury snacks, Leeds United
Dislikes: The passage of time, actual "last orders", Leeds United
Then there's John. He is probably, well definitely, the most miserable member of Last Orders. Yes, you’ve guessed it he is our bass player.
​
John describes his musical influences as wide ranging. In fact so wide ranging as he says he is a fan of the Beatles music from 1962 all the way to 1970. His musical influences don’t stop there, he is also a huge fan of John Lennon.
​
Outside of work, Last Orders and The Beatles John is a very well travelled chap. You wouldn’t know by asking him, the chances of him telling you that he once worked in Iraq are slim ….

Dislikes: Music other than the Beatles
It's Simon....
​
Simon took up this singing lark late in life although he had always dabbled in karaoke and deafened several people. He wishes he had have done this decades ago as on the whole he enjoys it. He is extremely frustrated that he has to have the words on front of him even for the songs he knows inside out.
Simon moved in behind Adam (not that way) and can attest to Adam's early attempts at playing the guitar! In fact he can't really listen to The Chain anymore!
Musically listens to most things from Led Zeppelin to Prince via The Dubliners
Likes - Honest people, beer and wine.
Dislikes - Jazz and Twats (it is a tad unfortunate that there is another band member below this comment)
And finally Tony. Is he at the bottom of the list because he is our least talented musician, or is it an alphabetical thing, you decide…
​
One look at the battered and worn drum stool seat will verify that this purveyor of bashing back beats has been around the block a few times. Driven by the desire to play with proper musicians this gurning Silver Fox has answered the call of Last Orders, something he has experienced on many occasions before but not as much fun as this version.
