Meet ... Geoff Boland (Guitar and Growling Vocals)

Geoff hails from the pie-eating kingdom of Wigan, where he was born at an early age. He started singing in early childhood, inspired by his first LP purchase (for the young amongst you, LPs were round bits of plastic with a groove on each side - a bit like CDs but bigger)... "GI Blues" by a certain E Presley esq (dec'd). Fans (ho ho) of DWC will note it's influence on the band - in the numbers of songs they cover from the album. Geoff claims to know all the words to all the songs on the album. The Soul Boy came south to evangelise the pagan south and was ordained in 1989, doing time in Ormskirk (which is actually north of Wigan, if such a thing is possible), Finchley and "here" (St Barnabus, Bearwood - somewhere near Bournemouth).

Married to Teresa, with two kids to show for it, Geoff is influenced by Messrs Springsteen, Sting, Hall and Oates and is a Motown Man. He was once compared to Paul Young (the one who sang with Mike and The Mechanics, not the bloke who did "Wherever I Lay My Hat") but the rest of DWC are not sure if this comparison was vocally or in terms of attire - and whether it was actually a positive comparison anyway ....
