PHIL JOLLY
My name is Phil I was born in Salford Greater Manchester in 1977. ive lived in England, Wales, Scotland, Australia and ended up in sunny Nottingham. I starting my singing career in an original metal band called "Sevenways" named after a local roundabout in Stretford, Manchester. We played the Roadhouse and the Star & Garter. it wasn’t a long lasting career i'll grant you that, but good fun and great practices. Once I moved to Nottingham I joined an Original Metal band called "Numb", later renamed "This Human Condition". I've played Junction 7 many times & Rock City and plenty of other dives attended by no people for no money, it was great....... Now I've ended up in Long Eaton after joining a psychobilly band called "Bremen" you won’t have heard of them either. In the last few months of 2009 I was singing in an Acoustic act called "The Duo" we had a residency at the Magpie Pub in Toton until we disbanded. I now find myself in the "Midnight Pumpkin Trucks" and im chuffed to say the least. I heard about them before I heard them play so their reputation preceded them as any fans will already know..... I know ive got some big shoes to fill and I hope I can do justice to such a great band which so many people enjoy.....

" With 25 years of playing and performing experience I’ve been around a bit and experienced a lot (!) – and expect even more of that with the Pumpkins (I’m sure the boys won’t let me down!). I like a good “tight sound” and pride myself on a quality performance every time, that’s playing the right notes all the time (and in the right order) as well as being entertaining (what’s the point of being able to play well if you can’t put on a show too!). My musical influences are many; from soul master James Jameson to Billy Sheeham, but I guess for me the ultimate front men of the bass world are Sting, Phil Lynott and of course Mark King. I believe that everyone has their own style of playing – one that suits their personality – and that’s what makes us unique. “Dynamic” and “A bass player with real attitude” are just a couple of quotes I’ve had. On the gear front, I have what could be classed as a small music outlet, but for gigs I tend to stick with my Warwick Streamer and G&L 2500 Tribute Bass (both 5 string basses), with a Mark Bass 210CMP combo through a 1x15 Orange bass cab (mmm … nice!).

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.

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 !!! )"
