Robyn Steward
I am a musician author and educator; I play Trumpet through guitar effect pedals. I was classically trained age 8-15 but didn’t get anywhere as I have always been into Avante Garde minded, but in January 2016 I saw a band called Spaceheads. I also joined Tony Douglas MBE’s beginners big band and learnt how to use my ears

Kathy was in the Honkies with Andy and plays cello, piano and sings. She also teaches Alexander Technique. Kathy is also a poet.

Andy plays trumpet through effects, mainly loopers and harmonizers. He has been playing with various bands around the world since the early 80s when he was part of the Manchester music scene of that time. He plays in a duo with drummer Richard Harrison called Spaceheads who were the spark for using effects with my trumpet.
