Hannah Tunstill - keyboard, bassoon, backing vocals, percussion Hannah has been trained in classical music at university and has performed in orchestras and ensembles for most of her life, but is only just starting to understand that music exists beyond little black dots on a page. She loves the process of giving life to a tune; the way simple melodies and textures make a song take shape. Apart from being a Tuesday Bandit, Hannah's dream gigs would be playing clarinet in a gypsy band, playing the drums in an afro-funk band, or playing trombone in a Tom Waits cover band. |

Craig Kelly- Electric and Double Bass Craig and Laura go way back - right back to a chance encounter in a guitar shop when Laura was buying her first steel-string guitar. Laura's teacher at the time, the inimitable Buzz King, persuaded them to work together, and when Laura returned from an overseas trip they began playing as a duo. Craig is a self-taught but university-trained musician, who tries not to let that get in the way of his playing. He enjoys playing a wide range of styles and especially enjoys trying to incorporate them all into the music of the Tuesday Bandits. |

Justin Parker- Drums and Vocals Justin has been on an instrument – hopping musical adventure since he was small, culminating with him now playing drums with his friends in the Bandits. He also sells his soul in cover bands on weekends and breaks into falsetto singing all the time…..it’s not his fault, he just reeeeeally loves music. Never one to shy away from an on-stage Borat impersonation, Justin loves the feeling of camaraderie when performing live with a great group of people. The seemingly endless parade of strange gigs that Laura books (kindergartens anyone? lighthouses?) makes sure that drumming with the Bandits is always an extremely fun and slightly confusing adventure. |

Nico – Acoustic Slide Guitar, Banjo, Percussion and Guitar Nico finds music an amazing medium through which he can express himself. He feels it is a timeless form of art and often gets lost in the moment it's being created. He has a passion for connecting people, and sees the band's music as a glue that can bond people no matter what their story is. "It's an amazing feeling when music connects people.. it's like an energetic conversation." Nico finds it hard to resist if there is an instrument in front of him - the intrigue and curiosity take hold. He is a child at heart and loves the fact that Tuesday night band practice can easily turn into what looks and sounds like a bunch of kids in a playroom, which is why he loves the quote "don’t let your mind stop you from having a good time." |
