                                                CRUEL BROTHER
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cruel Brother is a Black Country based four-piece, and sometimes
five-piece, acoustic beat-combo who cover songs they love - some from
off the beaten track; some that sensible bands would leave tied to the
track - while cunningly weaving in some of their own. Pop, jazz, rock,
blues, folk, country, soul - nothing goes unmolested. Some of the band
play in other groups and have long and significant histories in music
stretching back to the '70s and beyond. Some of the group simply have
long histories. Cruel Brother is:

Alan Apperley             guitar and vocals

Gerry Carlin                guitar

Ian Hart                      drums

Kevin Magill                lead vocals

Henriette Heise           vocals and periodic absence
