Ross has played in the North Sea Jazz Festivals both locally and at its home in Holland and has done such varied work as play in Orchestras backing major SA stars at the Sun City Superdome, Abdullah Ibrahim’s Cape Town jazz orchestra, and much like his brother, played all the seedy clubs that this country has to offer.

Ross also moonlights on the side in the circus industry as a sword…for sword-swallowers.
Allan McDonald is our boss…
Allan has 35 years of experience in the ad industry. He helped found the Cape Town branch of Hunt Lascarus TBWA and had his own agency, The Gap, for many years before deciding, “Baby! I wanna be in a band!”.
