Strange contortionist sea gull impersonator. Made his guitar talk. Remembered for at least one sax duet with Miff Mole. Never said much, but when he did people listened. After the Waltons he joined the embryonic Delta T.
Penned Faster Than Light.
Dave Cheesybits sees himself as a singer/song writer that can't sing, [and can't write songs according to some], first played with T.B.Walton at a gig a Warner's Puckpool where he was doing a solo [sic] performance [solo sick performance]. Had a habit of playing in his under-pants.
Has more recently made an appearance on a Max Brennen album [Maxwell House]. Has drifted into studio music and photography.
Saxophone and general shirking. Days before The Waltons signed their management contract and left for a recording session in Kent Owen announced he was leaving the band to become a kitchen porter.
Penned The Scrounging Song.
Long time collaborator with Cheesybits, Sean joined the band shortly after the Annika filming, and stayed till the bitter end. Always owned temperamental keyboards that reacted badly to humidity/temperature/beer etc. Always beat shit out of keyboards that reacted badly to humidity/temperature/beer etc. causing them to react badly to humidity/temperature/beer etc.
Main song writer and front man of the Waltons as well as Loony Tunes, and Fatal Dose. Came from up north, but couldn't help it. Famously stuffed cans of baked beans down his tights at the I.W. Song Festival. Later became a D.J.
Ex. Mumbo Jumbo. Had the dubious honour of being the last of the Waltons 9 or 10 drummers. Joined in July '87 and stayed to the bitter end. First saw the Waltons in "Annika" and was impressed.
Took over the bass from Cheesybits in '86 or '87 until the
bitter end.
Ex Loony Tunes drummer. Member of the Waltons during a quite productive phase, including the recording of the Dead Above the Neck album. In fact the song Love and Marriage only ever worked with him drumming for some reason, so he must have bought some thing to the band. Don't let the smile fool you though. Failed to turn up for a gig at Zanies one night, and that was that.
Yet another drummer, and a good one at that. The Waltons were
very tight with him behind them. He played with them for a lot of
their mainland gigs, most notably Dingwalls and The Angel [Soton]
both in August '86.
Other personnel include:
Drummers:Terry Lewis, Johnny Snudden, Richard Gough [Drummer on
"Feet on the Street"].
Vocalists: Sarah Barker-Barker & Jane Rostron from Cats Like Plain Crisps
who sang backing vocals
on the Dead Above the Neck sessions, most notably on "Love and Marriage"
[ironic or what?].
Guests:Miff Mole [saxophone], and Dave Packer [percussion].
