Mr. Tony McBride exploits the position of percussionist in The Genuine Jug Band. All eyes are on this performance and he is positioned stage front. He also solos on wind instruments and provides backup vocals. This percussive masterpiece is unlike anything else and is visually a work of art. A celebrated rock drummer and respected Scottish Pipe band snare drummer, Tony brings years of performance and playing experience to this challenging and unusual percussive masterpiece. One-man bands throw themselves at his feet in homage.

Mr. Terry Devine is an accomplished bass player and performs in The Genuine Jug Band as the gutbucket player. This is a one string fretless upright bass with a two octave range. Terry also pays the “jug”, again producing an amazing two octave range of bass notes with a sound very reminiscent of a tuba. Having performed on Television, concert stages, night clubs and festivals Terry has always proved himself the “showman”. Renowned for his on-stage banter, his spontaneous backup vocals and kazoo accompaniment, Mr. Devine brings years of jug band experience to the stage.
