Mossy - Lead Vocals and Band Management

Mossy (LEAD VOCALS, band promotion, general messing about) -Mossy been a well-known fixture at local watering holes and the hospital casualty department for many years. His career as a vocalist started early, at the age of 7. However, two years later he was thrown out of St. Mary's Junior School Choir, for punching another chorister in the face during a Christmas Carol Service row over who was going to do the lead vocals on "Away in a Manger".

When he is not gigging with JAK THE LAD, Mossy has a real job as European Sales Director for a wireless technology company. Mossy is also a keen amateur photographer ("your wife like photography Sir?"), and is a cunning linguist, speaking a number of foreign languages  (which is amazing when you consider his propensity for forgetting lyrics mid-performance).

Mossy list his influences as: Paul Rodgers, Otis Redding, Frank Sinatra, Paul Weller, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Guinness and Razzle magazine.
