Members Of Band:

Annalise Spurr-Vocals/song writer Originally from Somerset, & comes from a musical family with a north-east & Armenian background. Her vocals are strong & unique & give this band their distinctive edge.

Dave Setterfield-Guitars/song writer Brought up in Hertfordshire, & was surrounded by 60's & 70's music throughout his childhood. He studied music at college with Annalise, & then gained a degree in Music Business at university. Dave's guitar style, & creative songwriting skills, expresses the sound & style of the band.

Ian Prangnell-Bass Born & bred in Hertfordshire, was very involved with music at school. He has been involved with several bands, playing guitar & bass since he was 13. His knowledge of music theory, & driving bass lines, are an integral part of the band's sound.

Steve Birkett-Drums Born & bred in the Peak District of Derbyshire, & has been a drummer with a selection of bands both in the North & in London, before he finally settled in Hertfordshire. A love for Heavy Metal adds more 'rock' to the approach & drive of the band; while influences of a more mellow nature are reflected in the melodic essence of Strange Folk's songs.
