PAT GARDNER
I started my pro career as guitar player and 3rd harmony singer with TV pop four piece " A TOUCH OF VELVET" (Des O 'Connor Tonight,The Shaw Taylor Show,Grotbags) at Chesterfield Aquarius backing such luminaries as Bob Monkhouse,Marti Caine, Russ Abbott,Ken Dodd,Gene Pitney,Harry Worth(who???) (yeah, you know, the guy in the shop window....) and suchlike (and Joe Brown who was fab). Then moved to summer seasons for Pontins,Butlins at Yarmouth, Whitehaven, Isle Of Wight and Jersey playing everything from heavey metal to ballroom and backing crappy magicians,impressionists with 'muscle man' and 'My Way',unicyclists called Enrico, and ventriloquists who were dumber than their dummies. Got a job with 'THE FANTASTICS' for awhile (something old....something new.... something borrowed.....etc etc and toured Bonnie Scotland and Glasgow.(two different places). Joined Sheffield glam rockers 'RADIATION ' and pinched all their ideas for 'THE WAVE', a glam punk combo in the 80's. Played for BRIAN POOLE AND THE TREMELOES when I was broke and got to see Denmark,Norway, Sweden and Iceland. Went to Germany, Belgium and Holland with touring band "PANTHER" and two gay guys who did a 'HINGE AND BRACKETT' tribute. Played in 3 piece band "TOYS FOR GIRLS" with local celebrity agent and ex criminal DICK HILL. Got fed up with bands and played in a duo called "THE MICROCHIPS" with local fat man PETE STEED. Changed my name to JAKE and started working solo,also stopped dating drummers. In 2002 achieved lifelong ambition of being in the CHARTS,played guitar on the top (40)!hit 'MISTI BLU' by "CHAKA KHAN AND AMILLIONSONS" and am still spending royalties. Finally it all went wrong in 2008, when I met and joined "THE MIDNIGHT PUMPKIN TRUCKS". My favourite colour is Cerise and I exclusively use CROSSE AND BLACKWELL GUITARS and DR WHITE'S slinky stringy things.

" I started playing bass at age 13 although drums are my first instrument. Since then I have done hundreds of gigs including many at cool venues such as Rock City, Nottingham, The Cavern, Liverpool, Barfly in Birmingham and also on a beach by the Mediterranean in the South of France. I love playing all styles of music but my favourite bands tend to be from the classic rock era such as Zeppelin, Hendrix and The Who. Influences on bass include John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, Flea and Sting. I use a Fender Jazz bass for recording and gigging. Worst gigging moment is running around Liverpool looking for a music shop after breaking my bass an hour before a show. Best gigging moment is playing a sold out show at Assembly Rooms, Derby.

"Hi, I started playing the drums about 4 years ago, after being completely useless at everything else musical and somehow it worked out.

I have 3 drum kits that I use. An old battered Pearl session, which I can throw around during practices. A Tama Starclassic Bubinga that I use when recording and my latest is a Mapex for live gigs. This is a definite Pumpkin kit styled in orange and black. The rest of my gear is made up of Paiste, Sabian and Zildjian cymbals and a DW double bass pedal.

I like all styles of music but I do listen to material that few have heard of, including "A day to remember" and "36 Crazyfists". Obviously this is not to everyone taste but that’s what makes my drumming and me unique.

To get on a stage with your mates, play some great music and to GO FOR IT! ....one of life's best feelings, I love it"

TERRY aka JOHNNY DIAMOND (The Legend)
Second drummer, roadie and comedian all rolled into one! Terry is a seasoned musician and played drums with various bands over the years, but as "Johnny Diamond" he is developing a cult following on his road to super stardom.He is getting so popular now he is bringing out his own line of thongs for sale, just for the ladies!

CHRIS aka ELMO / Billy Mitchell
Lighting man & Chief Humper ( of speaker cabs of course), Elmo is new to the Pumpkin scene and has yet to be fully blooded in yet, especially with the Intro's. Johnny Diamond say's he's in charge of that! also Elmo was going to be cast in Eastenders, but "well ard" the dog got the role. On a serious note it's great to have Chris on board the Pumpkin Truck, many hands make light work!

THE MITCHELL BROTHERS aka RIGHT SAID FRED
Welcome to Matt & Dovey, the new YTS roadies, also here to look after their cousin Billy Mitchell. These two young aspiring humpers (in more ways than one) are crucial to us and are worth their weight in gold ( well beer actually), as us old farts in the band are knackered and worn out. Watch out girls they like a nice cooked breakfast!

BAZ STORER
A big thankyou to Baz who has been standing in while Peczy has been learning the songs. Baz has been rented from another great band "DEEZAL" (always knew you were a rent boy!) and is the Pumpkins supersub (like what dave fairclough was for Liverpool in the 70's). Thanks again Baz for keeping the show on the road.

"Dear Pumpkins and Pumpkin Fans, The gig at Harvey's on Saturday was fantastic, the sound was perfect and the whole show buzzed from start to finish, Peczy was ace, the boy will go on from strength to strength. I just want to say again, thanks to the Pumpkin Trucks for the 3 months spent with the band and to all the fans that were supportive, seeing the band perform on Saturday I felt a tinge of sorrow but some pride that what I set out to achieve had been fulfilled and the Pumpkins truck on. The torch has well and truly been passed...Hope to catch up with you all soon, I will forever be the 5th Pumpkin (sorry Johnny).. thanks again, BAZ ( Rock n Roll ...babies !!! )"
