Introducing ...
a 5 piece band with (sometimes) 7 members
It's made up of bits of the names of the original line-up of the band:
BROdie Mauluka
Kris BEDiiako
STuart Jebbitt
PhIL ManSfield
Brodie hardly needs introduction - a local legend who has lit up the music scene for years. From his time as youth worker, pub landlord, Farnham's mayor - it seems everyone knows Brodie. He fills the room with his warm and gritty vocals, dazzles with his guitar work (is there really only one guitarist on stage?) and charms with his wit between songs. As well as being a town councillor, he still finds time to run jam nights and open mics in Farringdon and Farnham
You never thought trombone was a melody instrument? think again. Jamie coaxes sweetness as well as power from his instrument, from the stage and during his famous audience walkabouts. People love his singalong numbers. If that wasn't enough, he travels the counties as a solo singer-guitarist too.
Nick's rich bass sound gets those feet tapping, with a blend of rhythm and tuneful licks. They let him sing a bit too, if he can ever stop eating. When not with the band, he can often be found playing guitar and keys at open mics in the area.
Rojib's soaring sax lines lift your heart on waves of delight and add a layer of loveliness to our sound. Outside of our band, he's quite the jazz buff - and has been the lead guitarist of his own prog-rock band.
Where would we be without Stu - he is the force that keeps us all in the groove. A powerhouse of rhythm, with light touches that add subtlety to the sound. Plus his backing vocals are an essential of the rich band sound.
Special guests
We are lucky to have two of the original members of Brobed Stils who can step in when some are unavailable, and to swell our sound for special events:
Phil Mansfield - drummer, percussionist and backing vocalist
Stuart "Rodders" Jebbitt - bass player, vocalist and keyboard player
