Crazy Fat Dr Jack comprises musical friends of Tasha Miller, who died last year. They performed at a memorial event for her at the Gate Arts Centre in Cardiff UK.
The band’s name was chosen by taking words from the titles of other bands that each has played in with Tasha
The band were Andy Burton (viheula, harmonica, fiddle, vocals), Ben Burrow (Drums), Jim Carfrae (lead guitar, vocals), Nic Cottis (piano, vocals) Tim Kjeldsen (guitar, vocals), Scott McGowan (bass, guitar, vocals), Colin Tully (keyboard, sax).
The evening also featured performances by Pip Reeves (vocals) and Barry Gillions (guitar and vocals)
Although we haven’t all played together recently, we are all actively involved in musical projects of our own.
