are a four piece band that is usually made up of two main members, Joolz and Lee. How does that work? I hear you scream, well they have what they affectionately call " floaters ". A floater could be any one of a dozen drummers and several keyboardist, and this is not to say of course that they all float about aimlessly in the twilight zone, but they're busy chaps in the glitzy world of showbiz.

But even the two main members are not always both present at gigs 'cos they're also busy in the showbizy sense. Hence every gig is different, which is just the way they like it. And occasionally they'll do a duo...... Confused ?

During their mystic mind expanding episode with the Maharishi in India they discovered, that to attain the “inner balance, spiritual serenity and (above all) vocal harmony”, they so heartily craved, all that they needed was the profound knowledge of the art of wearing a frilly shirt, bad tie and flairs. Once this total sense of enlightenment had been achieved, known as
 
The Carnabyshan Transcendental Meditationary State” they went on to be probably the busiest band in the country touring the Middle East and Europe, recording eight very popular albums and winning the hearts of many .
