The Dean Rees Band

 

 

KARL RANDALL - Drums, percussion/Co-writer & producer

 

Early in Karl’s career, you would have found him playing the Glastonbury Fest in a jazz quartet! ... a good illustration of his range as a drummer. Over the last ten years, he’s teamed
with Dean in various projects, including Grand Society with
Toby Marriott and most notably Greg’s Ridley’s Humble Pie
and Stray. In addition to playing drums on most tracks,
Karlos co-produced SFA ... AND.. co-wrote with Dean some
of its songs.

DEL BROMHAM - Guitars

 

 

The salty veteran of the lot, most rockers know Del as the
founding member of Stray. Dean and Karl joined Stray in
2005, so Del was happy to return the favor when the SFA
tracks were being recorded. Stray’s history includes 20
albums and countless tours of the UK, Europe and US.
Del has three solo albums as well, including the recent
acoustic blues CD Devil’s Highway.

STUART UREN - Bass

 

 

I FIRST MET STU WHILE PLAYING FOR A GREAT BAND CALLED BIGSTONE, FRONTED BY THE VERY TALENTED DAVID CATTERMOLE. I PLAYED MANY GIGS WITH THE BAND AND WHEN THINGS GOT QUIET WE ALWAYS KEPT IN TOUCH. I REMEMBER PLAYING A GREAT GIG AT FENDER UK, ALL YOU COULD WANT, WE HAD SOME FUN THERE. WHEN GREG RIDLEY SADLY JOINED THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY, I WAS ASKED TO PUT ON A HUMBLE PIE SHOW AT HIS MEMORIAL TRIBUTE GIG FOR ALL HIS FANS!
THAT'S SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL, NOT MENTIONING HIS ENORMOUS HANDS! STU WAS THE FIRST MAN I THOUGHT OF AND WHO COULD BRING THE PIE SET TO LIFE AND HAVE THE LOVELY PATRICIA RIDLEY SMILING! WE DID IT BOYS SO I HAD TO HAVE HIM PLAYING ON MY ALBUM. NICE ONE STU!
OH YEH AND IM IN STRAY WITH HIM WHAT A CO-INKY DINK! LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE MORE MORE...

MOLLIE MARRIOTT - Vocals

 

 

Mollie’s work in the music biz has been quite varied for
her years. The daughter of famed Small Faces and Humble
Pie front man the late Steve Marriott, Mollie first appeared
on the scene in the pop vocal trio D2M (Devoted To Music). Then, appearances at Small Faces conventions and the
memorial concert for her father earned Mollie further
recognition among the Mod and Classic Rock sets. In
addition to the DR Band, Mollie is currently working with
both Joe Brown and Sam Brown.

LEE DEVINE - Vocals

 

 

Dean: “Lee and Mollie both have this enormous belting
voice when required and then harmonious, soft and sweet
like caramel....Ooh I’m dribbling, I apologise! I met Lee
while in the pub, funny how this whole band is based in
the pub. Lee has been to Small Faces conventions and
always in the background, but I never had the opportunity
to work with her. Many thanks to Karlos and his persuasive
ways, she joined us while recording. Wow what a voice!

Lee sings vocals on most of the album.”
