Hastings’ very own beat punk band’s final gig with the original line-up – frontman Jack Wilson, guitarist Ben Beetham, bassist Eddie Lewis and drummer George MacDonald.
Sadly Ben and George are departing and we wish them well in whatever they do next. On 4 July a KK Instagram post welcomed the new members:
Please officially welcome Miles Gill & Lee Martin, taking up the roles of drums & guitars.
Both have toured extensively for years. Miles with ROAM and more recently as our trusty drum tech and Lee with Blue Stragglers and Saint Agnes.
The Apple hasn’t fallen too far from the tree as we’ve known them both since we first started in Hastings in our teenage years and have been best buds ever since.
