From the DPAS web site: We've had a message from Charlie Jeffreys following the posting of two UK Good Old Boys dates in August. "Apparently a bunch of guys described by Pete Parks as 'the crazy Austrians' had seen the DPAS posting and taken it upon themselves to travel over to England for the first gig . It seems they had a wonderful time, loved the show, and socialised extensively with the band afterwards. At the Watford gig a few days later a group of Germans followed a similar path and another happy time was had. One result is that the Good Old Boys have been invited back to play in either Austria and/or Germany. The band are quite enthusiastic about this possibility."

The Good Old Boys were originally formed as a vehicle to play live Rock ‘n Roll whenever the members were free from touring with their own bands. The astounding response they received has led them to become a successful band in their own right, with their combined talents providing a perfect blend for the 50s, 60s Rock n Roll / R&B enthusiast. An evening with the Good Old Boys is an exhilarating experience and one not to be missed.

Alan Baratt (lead singer) started his professional careers singing with Jo-Jo Gun. He has worked alongside the likes of Chip Hawkes (Tremelos), Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers and the Carlo Little Band (Stones). His unique, understated, relaxed vocal style has led to his continued success and popularity, making him one of the most sought after names in Rock n Roll today.

Nick Simper (bass & vocals) needs no introduction. His name is synonymous with one of the greatest rock bands ever, Deep Purple, of which he was a founder member. He first played professionally with Johnny Kidd and The Pirates and his vintage bass playing is the bedrock of the band.

Peter Parks (guitar & vocals) played alongside Nick simper in the Deep Purple offshoot band Warhorse. He subsequently went on to record albums with the much acclaimed Fandango and has performed with BB King, Paul McCartney and Simple Minds. His fine rock and blues guitar playing is a huge asset to the band.

Simon Bishop (guitar & vocals) was originally a session guitarist for the BBC. He has toured with Renaissance, High Society and The Monks (of Nice Legs Shame About The Face) and has recently returned from session work in Nashville where his unique country rock guitar style places him in great demand.

Richard Hudson (drums and vocals) is the well-known charismatic percussionist from The Strawbs. His career encompasses periods with Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera, Hudson Ford, High Society and The Monks. He has toured recently with Rick Wakeman and is responsible, along with John ford, of the unmistakable “Part Of The Union”
