Road Crew
Darren "Dazook" Nottingham
Unofficial fifth member, van driver, roadie, genius
and poet. He's been promising to write his Milkfloat memoirs for some time now, but keeps conveniently "forgetting"...
Steve "Lefty" Left
Van driver and roadie; teetotal, straight
edge. Provided the muscle behind the mangle. Used to scare the bejeezus
out of me when he took his jumper off while doing 90 in the fast lane....
"Count" Danny Shackleton
Every great band needs a great producer, but we had to put up with Danny. Only joking. The Shack twiddled the knobs in the studio and also for most of our live shows....
Sophie
Trusty companion, team mascot, keeper of the keys
to the van. The real fourth member....but not - actually -
the dog that washed off the front of the tshirts!
Drunks, Liggers and Hangers-On
Roger Murray
A legend in his own lunchtime, and the inspiration for Milkfloat's very first song "(What's Your Name) Roger Murray". Still a thoroughly nice bastard....
Ian "Jock" Manzie
I think that Jock is actually to blame for the ridiculous name we carried around with us for so many years. Cheers!
Everyone Who Showed Up
Dinger shouting from the Adelphi bar; John MacArthur trying to flog singles to unsuspecting members of the public at the Tower; Kev, Brendan, Jacko, Nick Brown, David Ros, John Robb, Steve Mack and everyone else....
