Hello All...

Went to see TAPFS for the first time, this past Tuesday night, at the Benedum in Pgh. WOW! Great venue (last saw "The Outlaws" there, loooong ago) and an even better performance.

I was blown away so badly, I bought tickets today, to the show on 10/18 in Canton Ohio! lol

I did notice a couple of "new" members in the band. Of course, all I had ever seen of them prior to Tuesday, was in YouTube videos.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows any history on the "new" guy playing guitar and the "new" keyboardist"? Thought they both did very well...as did all. Ola was lookin kinda hot, too.

Also, are these temporary replacements, or have some members recently departed the band?

Thanks for your time!

Hi Shy-ply,

Welcome to the forum! Glad you enjoyed the show!

The current North American line up is as follows (see also: this topic)

Arran Ahmun            Drums
Carl Brunsdon          Saxophones, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, sax, clarinet
Ian Cattell                Bass guitar, vocals
Damian Darlington      Guitar, vocals, keyboard
Bobby Harrison          Guitar, vocals
Rob Stringer              Keyboards, programming, vocals.
     
Ola Bienkowska      Backing vocals
Amy Smith              Backing vocals
Jacquie Williams      Backing vocals

No one has departed the band. Colin, Steve, Jason and Paul just needed a break on their tight schedule. They will be back on the European/UK Tour.

On the history of the "new members", there was some info on the forum, but I can't seem to find it. But one (or two) of the other forum members will definitely help you out.

Ola was lookin kinda hot, too.

OMG, I try really hard not to notice

Right, good luck with that. 

bugger that, I always have a good long hard oggle - she always looks hot to me  >
