Simon has played for numerous local bands in a live,studio and radio capacity, Dan has spent many years touring , recording for many bands locally, nationally and internationally. Most recently toured with Canadian band The Stoters in Scandinavia and Switzerland. He also spent a ten year period playing for singer songwriter Clint Bradley recording at Abbey Road with members of Ian Dury’s band The Blockheads, sorry about the name dropping but it just had to be done. Adi also played for numerous local bands in a live, studio and radio capacity.
The Now are a sharp powerful mod quartet.
Bringing together classic mod anthems as well as their own essential original songs in one power packed show.
