BAZ  RAYNER  / DRUMS.   

 

 

Baz was born in 1977 and went to Newbold Community School, Chesterfield. He taught himself to play drums at the tender age of 5 when he got his first biscuit tin and after getting his first Drum kit for £100 which his dad bought him for his 14th birthday, has played properly ever since. Baz joined a covers band called 'Bamm' in 1994 and mainly gigged in local pubs in and around Chesterfield and Nottingham. Eventually the band split and Baz and the singer formed a new band called 'Ultrasonic' which travelled up and down the country, from Newcastle to Northampton for the most part of 7 years playing cover songs to pubs and clubs. Ultrasonic combined covers with writing their own material and subsequently won the 'Derbyshire Band of the Year' title in 1998 at the Winding Wheel, Chesterfield. Soon after the band split due to other commitments, Baz joined another 'own material' band called 'Riser', however gigging was limited and studio recording took up most of the bands time. Early 2007, He decided to call it a day with this band and after a couple of failed ventures found himself teaming up with Sneaky Feelin' in November 2007. Here's too the future.....
