    3 weeks ago by RichardThornton A decade ago,  @clariashmusic  and I shook NZ with our joint scream in  @ausyouthband 's arrangement of the The Time Warp. I dropped a surprise scream in a group photo at the band's 40th Anniversary tonight - sorry Cass and Boo! - then Ash and I belted out one more for old time's sake. Happy days!!

Bandman is a DIY band management platform I built having played in and managed bands. Chasing artist availabilities, storing client and venue info and generally keeping on top of everything can be hard work. Bandman makes it easy!

FUNK BUDDES is our 8-piece, New Orleans-style funk band. Need I say more?!
