Bands

COLIN HARE & THE HONEYBUS
Colin Hare is mainly and fondly remembered as being a member of the one-hit wonders "Honeybus". That's the kind of thing you'd read if you were to google Mr. Hare but we know different, by golly we know different. An underground genius in the eyes of The Pugs especially for Thomas who was speechless when Colin and wife Myra turned up in Abbey Road - Studio 2 during the sessions for "Jollity"!!

DAVE GREGORY
Gregsy? What can we say that's not already been drooled out of millions of peoples mouths about this incredible guitar player? In fact just calling Dave a "Guitar player" is an insult really but in a way I don't think he'd mind.....!! Amazing man.

ERIC MATTHEWS
Eric Matthews is simply sublime. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter of incredible depth, you'll wander around confused as to why you've never purchased one of his 3 albums and various singles and E.P's, when you hear his songs. If you have purchased his C.D's then you'll know what we mean. Plays amazingly on "Jollity" by the way.....

JASON FALKNER
A wonderful friend of the band and he 'aint a half bad musician/songwriter too!! Check out Macca's latest opus to hear some of Jason's handywork, then pop on "Earworm" and hear some of the same with The Pugs.....

KIM FOWLEY
He's a legend - A true star and we love him here at Pug-Base. Forget the hype, the man invented the bloody word.....!!

MICHAEL PENN
Thomas notified us to say that one of his greatest ever moments of all of this musical madness was becoming friends with Mr. Penn and finding out he's a big Pug-Fan!! Click above to open a door into something very special.....

APPLE VENUS STUDIOS
Mr. Peter Fitzpatrick is at the helm here, I say that because this man's name should be mentioned a LOT more often. "Apple venus studios specialize in bringing digital audio technology to artists who have little or no prior studio experience." A stalwarth of many behind the scenes Pugwash activities, Peter is a true friend of the band and a huge talent in his own right. More to come with this chap......
