So in 2004 Neil was in a band called the Pheonix who were lacking a good-looking frontman with a voice to match his braun. Neil knew Tom from school and so asked him if he fancied hooking up.
With Toms appearance though the standard was raised and Tom and Neil soon realised The Pheonix' drummer just wasn't up to the job. Tom knew Rich from working at a local bar and buying drugs off him* and knew he played the drums so got him in on the act.
The standard was raised yet another notch but this highlighted a new weak link - bass.
Tom and John had been mates since they were knee high. They were at the same school with Neil, and Rich worked with him at the bar as well - it all made sense. It was fate!
The finishing touch was a new name for the new band and the inspired choice was Curzon Circle!
Gigging regularly around Birmingham and sometimes farther afield, we f*ckin love playing, and love the music we play. Come and see us! If you aint impressed we'll give you your money back...
(..Actually, this is a lie, we wont at all. Mainly because we know you'd be lying!)
*All references to drugs are fictional. We're just trying to sound rock 'n' roll.
Neil ‘Keep It Real’ Williams. Aka Kipetto.
He’s a little fella and he loves his sweets. A bit of a philosopher (or so he likes to think). He’s absolutely deaf to the sound of his own guitar. A recovering fringe-trimmer, he’s now six months clean and the temptations to mutilate his own fringe are getting less and less frequent. He likes vintage trainers but not vintage wine. He also likes cider and absinthe. He’s grown to 6’ 5” since I’ve been typing. He has high aspirations and can be seen in The Lord of The Rings.
Tom Folan
Looks like an owl during sex. Definitely doesn’t look like Johhny Borrell (although Pete Doherty thinks he does). And some other people do too. But he doesn’t. Can’t lift anything heavy (especially amps) due to a hernia. Shaves his box to a zero.
Looks like his sister. Often in the shower when he should be in the car going somewhere. He’ll nick your bird and he’ll prob’ly kick yer’ ‘ead in, though he’s actually horrifically scared of girls. Can be seen sporting a rock-band.
Rich
Drives one of only five Baleno Estates on the planet. Gathered much life experience at uni. Enjoys scoops and zoots and has a fetish for boots and office wear. Can be seen in drumming hat. Shaves to a no.2. His head’s a zero.
