MARK RICHARDSON - GUITAR

When not shredding guitar with The H&H Band, you can find Mark teaching the art of guitar at his own studio, playing in the pit for celebrated musical theatre productions (including The Arts Club's ROCK OF AGES) or hitting stages far and wide with his original modern metal band OPHELIA FALLING.

BARRY WARNE - KEYBOARDS
