From right to left The Publicans are:
Paul Amesbury vocals mandolin
Lindsay Gee whistle vocals
Craig Palmer guitar vocals spoons
Vania Vitillo vocals guitar bass
Jon Bull piano
Stew Black bass vocals
Simon Lambert drums vocals
There’s seven of us at the moment; mandolin, piano, guitars, drums, bass, whistle and some er.. singing. Our songs are about growing up and being grown up and the stuff that happened on the way. Some of them are true, some of them are sort of true and some are downright lies.
It’s always a bit of a knees-up when we play, and we love to make new friends.
