The Electrics are a Celtic rock band from Dumbarton, Scotland. They formed in 1988 when former Infrapenny members Sammy Horner (vocals and bass guitar) and Paul Baird (guitar) asked drummer Dave McArthur and sax/keyboard player Allan Hewitt to play a gig at Glasgow's Impact Festival. The band released a self-financed cassette album, ''Views in Blues'', in 1989. Following this recording the band evolved a celtic rock sound, heavily influenced by The Waterboys and The Pogues. Subsequent recordings included ''Vision and Dreams'' (1990) which was distributed by Word Records, and ''Big Silent World'' (1993), on Germany's Pila Music label. Renowned for their energetic performances, the band have performed in the UK, Europe and the USA. The band have not officially disbanded but have no plans to play any shows in the near future; Sam Horner is currently a church based youth worker in Canada, while the rest of the band members, past and present, remain in Scotland working on other projects. ==Band members== ;Current members *Sammy Horner - Lead Vocals, Bass *Paul Baird - Guitar and backing vocals. *Davie McArthur - Drums, Bodhran. *Allan Hewitt - Keyboards, accordion, saxophone, whistle and backing vocals. ;Former members *Jim Cosgrove - Drums *Tim Cotterell - Fiddle, Mandolin *Heather Negus - Accordion, keyboards. *Kris McEwan - Fiddle/mandolin. *David Lyon - Accordion, Keyboards *Kenny MacNicol - Highland/ Uhllean Pipes, whistles. *Robin Callander - Fiddle/mandolin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Electrics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
