Outcry  Where good music comes alive

 

Meet the band

Richard Amey, plays electric and acoustic 12-string guitars, sings first harmony line and backing vocals. Co-founded Outcry in 2000 with the then keyboardist Nigel Ratcliffe .

Dave Levett, plays piano and keyboard, providing a kaleidoscope of soundscapes in support of a varied repertoire. Dave also contributes some backing vocals.

A drummer by trade, Ges Gibbens is equally at home behind the microphone in which capacity he has recently blossomed as our lead vocalist and harmonica player.

Andrew Mitchener. A multi-talented musician and avid collector of instruments, who provides the all-important low frequency foundation on bass.

Newest addition to the band is drummer Olivier Cantaloube. Originally from Paris, Oli currently uses an electronic kit, (to very good effect!).

Steve ‘anyone got a spare patch cable’ Hawkins, our long serving ‘youthful’ sound engineer. No live gig should be without one!

Others actively associated with Outcry are Martin Lambeth, deputy sound engineer, (and a pretty cool guitarist in his own right), and Andy Shepherd our former lead singer/2nd guitarist, who provides guest vocals occasionally.
