Jane moved to Poole from Manchester in 1989 to develop her medical career. She decided to sign up for singing lessons as a way to meet people and the rest as they say is history.
Jane began singing in a local Jazz group and indulged her passion for the music of Tom Jobim (Girl from Ipanema). Since then, she has been a singer/guitarist with successful local bands including Mind the Gap and Dance on, covering old and new 'easy listening' material. She also loves Blue Grass music, particularly Alison Krauss and Union Station, and performs with 'Grass Fire' - playing at Barn Dances for charitable causes. That work has really brought her guitar playing along and she is really enjoying singing and playing with the new line-up.

Dave is a prime example of the inveterate rock bassist who will do anything for an audience. He has even been known to throw a few shapes when someone shone a torch at him and he was caught without his trusty Fender Precision in his hands.
Having played in many bands over an undisclosed number of years, taking in everything from show bands, dance bands, pop, rock, country music, Irish folk/rock and finally easing into the semi-retirement field of Blue Grass, Dave was inspired to seek further excitement after seeing his hero, Bill Wyman and his Rhythm Kings. Realising that it was possible to rock on a zimmer frame, when the call came to join Merge in Turn, he was there like a shot. He is quoted as saying ‘It’ll take Semtex to get me out of this band. I haven’t had so much fun since I helped Noah build his boat.’
