MARIA HARVEY   Keyboards, Bass, Violin and Vocals

"Merrily bobbing up and down in her pink tutu and purple boa is Maria, constrictor of the keys and Leicester City fan. Miffo is best remembered as the member of Fuzzbox who wasn't allowed to be seen on stage, lest the talent in her little finger overshadowed that of the other four. When not playing for GORGEOUS, Maria enjoys showing people her injuries.
Knickname:  Miff
Catchphrase:  "This one's really nasty"

JOHN McQUEEN   Bass Guitar

"Little is known about John McQueen, Gorgeous's enigmatic Bass meister. At the very pinnacle of his craft, (and dead good on the bass ), John is as happy in Gorgeous as he was in The Woolpackers. He likes nothing better of an evening than putting his feet up, sliding on a Styx LP and supping away on a herbal infusion of his own blending".
Knickname:  Skippy
Catchphrase:  "Was there a rehearsal?"

ABI BRUTON   Trombone

"Abi made her musical debut with rock legends "Brain Drain" and now after ten years of extensive therapy to cure her phobia of ear-splitting feedback she's back playing again. But for how long?........... "
Knickname:  Leader or Stripey
Catchphrase:  "Let's do it"

RICK SHAW   Sax

"Completing the G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S front row is Stockport's giant sax worrier Rick Shaw, the man with the band's coolest name. Rick looks every inch the street-tuff Hip-Hop/Electro/Funk DJ that he is until ya go into his shop and catch him selling girly beads... "
