We’d really pleased to welcome our new drummer James Cowell to The Rainband.
After five years of dedication our original drummer Steve decided to leave. He had this message for everyone.
“I would like to thank all of you who took the time and effort to support The Rainband; from those of you who were there at the beginning, right through to the lovely people we met in Italy on the Paolo Nutini tours. My fondest memories of The Rainband will always be those of the friends we made along the way. You’re all fantastic and it’s because of you that I enjoyed my time with the band so much. As for the lads, Joe, Sam, Phil and Martin, I know I have made friends for life in them and will continue to support them in all their future endeavours. Thanks for the adventure lads! It’s been a blast!”
Steve has plans to start a new musical project over the summer and we will bring you news of that as it develops. We wish him all the best for his future musical projects.
