The ChinWig band members

Click on the pictures for details

Pete Bangert is a long serving musician from the Sheffield area. Pete formed ChinWig probably because it was about time. He plays guitar and sings in the band and is one of the primary songwriters for the band’s original material.

Krys Bangert also plays lead guitar in the band. In this picture Krys is adopting his usual relaxed attitude with his favourite Ibanez JS guitar waiting for the ‘crusties’ to make their minds up. Krys has worked with a number of other bands including Severance and his current project Setsudan.

The vocals are delivered by monster vocalist Mick Shedd , a well known South Yorkshire musician from such bands as Equinox, The Dagger Band, Shedd's on Fire and Fixer . Pete and Mick hada short sojourn with the band ToshRollo back in the late '80's and it’s about time they renewed their musical partnership.

The drums are being played by Gordon Henderson , a well know musician from the Yorkshire area. He has previously played in Phoenix Rising with Pete and this renews a partnership that worked excellently in the past. It also promises to be good in the future with Gordon and Aidan bouncing off each other for the first time.

Aidan Hall plays bass in the band. He is a seasoned, trained and qualified multi-instrumentalist specialising in bass of all styles. Aidan has been in a number of different bands playing indie, acoustic and rock including indie rockers Monkeyface. He completes the band lineup.

There is of course one other person without whom the band would be incomplete and that is Alan Bangert our Sound Engineer and Road Manager. He brings many, many, many years of experience to the band, making our lives a lot easier - not to mention giving us something to point at and chuckle when things are looking bleak.
