After a wonderful show last May we just had to invite them back!FIRE & RAIN Once in a while something magical happens when a group of musicians get together to perform music they love.
A case in point is Fire & Rain – not a tribute band, but a band of like minded lovers of the music of James Taylor.
Fire & Rain formed in 2013 when Tom Townsend and Bob Walker were asked by a local music promoter to put together an homage to James Taylor. This was an opportunity not to be missed.
Bob was commissioned to transcribe and arrange the music and the band was formed.
Now, with years of gigs under their belt, the band has gone from strength to strength and are delighted to be still performing, and enjoying, this truly wonderful music.
Fire and Rain are:
Rich Adams – Well known as a member of Stony, Rich brings his vocal and guitar skills to the mix, as well as his incredible triangle playing!
Tom Townsend – Noted for his wide ranging musical skills, Tom features on vocals, acoustic and electric guitars.
Mark Gordon – The other half of Stony, Mark handles the keyboard parts with commensurate skill.
Paul Tilley – Yet another multi talented legend. Paul plays drums with such great skill and taste and adds wonderful vocal harmonies to the mix.
Bob Walker – Freelance bass player Bob just loves playing with these fine musicians. He is also tasked with sound duties and also ensuring they are all where they are supposed to be – at the right time!
Rowan Oliver – Scarborough's very own Dr. Funk. Ex Goldfrapp drummer Rowan is a relative newcomer to the band. Now very much a permanent fixture, bringing the gloss of wonderful percussion to the mix.
You don't have to be a fan of James Taylor to enjoy the music of Fire & Rain, but the chances are you will be by the end of the night.
