The band – Stephen Dunn, lead vocals and guitar, Neil Fraser, drums and backing vocals, Andy Harper, bass and backing vocals and Chris Harty, keyboards and backing vocals are completed by the Randall & Hopkirk Orchestra (AKA Alan ‘Shut It’ Branstone on trumpet and Chris ‘The Dead One’ Riley on trombone). They describe their music as “clap and spin”, which gives a hint of the happy, up-beat music they make. Hailing from Carlisle in the North of England, the band have been together for 4 years. There’s no doubt that they have a good time on stage & Giant Loop favourites, such as 'Something’s Bothering Me', always sees a full dance floor. A recent gig recent review said "I defy anyone of any musical persuasion not to love this band and leave, at least, smiling – or with aching feet".
