Alex play's melodeon like he's trying to tame a beast, a big punchy sound influenced by Andy Cutting, John Kirkpatrick and session players from his home county of Suffolk. Dave's guitar work is influenced by jazz and rock, although he also has a classical guitar upbringing and Danny has taken influences of funk rock artists in his bass playing.
