Quivering John Levermore - Keyboards,Stern Looks,No Messing About

At last a bit of backbone in the ranks of OBM.For some time it has been apparent that what this band needs is some good, old-fashioned discipline,and now it has arrived in the form of Mr Levermore (as he prefers to be known by lesser band members). Make no mistake,ladies and gentlemen,the straight face and schoolmasterly image are not simply there for the benefit of intimidating unruly audiences. Oh no. Put simply, he scares the living bejazus out of us.

For example at our very first rehearsal with Mr Levemore (yes,even I have to call him that) we were all put in detention after a particularly intrusive (and unpleasant) incident of wind breaking from the direction of our lead guitarist (no names,no pack drill,but I'm looking at you, Bren....).

And then,I was hung upside down outside The White Lyon venue for a week as a dreadful warning to all rhythm guitarists who cannot differentiate between an augmented 9th and a diminished 7th.

And a sound thrashing was administered to all and sundry after Dave Watterston failed to meet the required standard during a random plectrum inspection.

So it is plain to see that one does not sod around with this man.Especially when one takes into account his musical history, which is vast and spectacular to say the very least. Folks, this man has played with everyone.Ok,with the exception of Cradle Of Filth and Westlife (and that's the only time you'll see those two acts in the same sentence). But absolutely everybody else....Yes, including P.J.Proby.

Actually, there was a time when Mr Levermore would only play for anyone who used initials in their name e.g B.A Robertson, B.J.Thomas,R.Dean Taylor etc.Generally, it was a successful move, but he came horribly unstuck when he tried to form a power trio with T.S.Eliot and H.G.Wells (no drummer, you see).

OK,so apart from iron discipline and the capacity to inspire abject fear,what does Mr Levermore bring to OBM? Quite simply, the most gobsmackingly rollicking keyboard constructions that you can get. Oh yes, and I can hear you asking " Why 'Quivering' ?"

Well, I'll tell you. It's all down to his lifelong passion for archery.Sadly,a childhood incident left him traumatised and completely unable to say the word 'archery'. So when he left the house with his bow and arrows, he would be heard to say "just off for a spot of quivering"

And for those audience members who would think it mirthful to invoke this man's wrath, just consider what he actually carries in that spare keyboard case.
