Andy Rudd: Vocalus Singius (Singer)
Once described as having more front than Harrods, singer Andy set up the band 13 years ago. After shutting down the group briefly due to work commitments, the band was reformed with a fresh line-up after close friend Frank Heritage asked them to perform at his 40th Birthday bash. Known in the band as Andy "here's another great little number" Rudd, he dreams of performing for Simon Cowell on X Factor one day and hopes Prince will eventually forgive the band for performing Purple Rain better than he ever could! |

Terry Hotston: Noisius Drumindium (Drums)
Chelsea mad Terry joined the band in November 06. When he's not cheering on the Blues his humour and wit make RoadRunner rehearsals and gigs that extra bit special - only if Chelsea win though! Loves his cow bell, car and wife, though not in that order. |

Matthew Oliver: Twangius Pickius (Guitar)
Missile builder Matt, who has been playing for 13 years, is by far the best guitarist RoadRunner has ever had. His influences include Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, BB King, Buddy Guy, Matt Schofield, Robben Ford and the great Aynsley Lister. Matt's playing style is a mixture of these, and he hopes he has combined their styles to become something that is Matt. Probably not though..... Now based in Guildford, Wigan born Matt, who has been a member of various local jam and rock outfits, is also a local guitar teacher and continues to work in engineering, but will eventually rule the world! |
