Chris Ezra “El Bajo Hombre” = Bassman, geddit? 

Chris auditioned for the band in January 2008 and beat off the competition with his excellent playing and great personality.
Since his joining, the forum has been buzzing with comments - Tom says 'I used to play in a band with your new bassist Mr Ezra and have many very fond memories! Never has anybody been least matched to a biblical name!' & Brian says 'have fun with Chris Ezra, he's an awesome Bassist, but don't tell him you know where I am, coz I think I still owe him a fiver'.


Chris started playing guitar many years ago, but moved to “dark side” of bass guitar after ten years, then back to guitar and finally back to bass again some 8 years ago. The lure of those bowel wobbling notes and funky riddums can be explained by a heart scan which revealed Chris’ heart resonates at 50Hz and beats in shuffle time (who writes this rubbish?).
