Robert Wray. A familiar presence on the London roots circuit, Robert Wray has quickly made a name for himself as one of the UK's most exciting new talents. A soulful and evocative singer, he draws on many influences that range from the likes of Billie Holiday to Elvis Presley. Always looking to push boundaries, his style blends both the classic and the contemporary to create a unique sound of his own. During his career he has fronted many bands on the roots scene, performing at top venues and festivals in the UK and Europe. In 2012, Robert worked with producer Danny McCormack (Imelda May), as well as performing with some of the finest roots musicians in the country. Robert met Alan Savage while working with him in another project and was delighted when Alan asked him to join OO-BOP-SH'BAM. 'I look forward to being involved with one of the top RnB/Rock and Roll bands in Europe.'

On Piano we have a new talent in James Lunn. He is a fine piano player, only having played with bands in his local area, and says that this is his first serious band.
