Sam - Bass

Sam Cops

History

Sam is the only person in the band to be a classically trained muso. He can bang out a mean tune on a piano, flute, bass, guitar and can hold his own behind a drum kit. He has been playing in bands since his early teens and has a music collection to rival John Peel's. Since he has been playing music with Rob for over 10 years he has an uncanny ability to know exactly what Rob is thinking just by looking at him...
