Who are the Dandilions?

Sam Read on guitar and vocals, Oli Bohm as lead guitar and vocals, Gilroy Guedes on bass and vocals and Dan Cassidy on drums.

Sam and Oli had been playing together for a few years when they bumped into Gil playing bass to an old Bob Marley LP on the streets of Highfields.

They asked him to join their band, they then kidnapped Dan and rescued him from a career in Burlesque.

Who or what are your greatest influences?

We influence each other all of the time but love it all man, from Frank Sinatra to the Specials to MC Buskin of Heartless Crew.

Who are your favourite local bands at the moment and why?

Oli: Ego Armalade because they let me wear their fox costume at the Original Bands Showcase.

Sam: Laurel Aitken because I relate to him as the godfather of Ska.

Dan: Cornershop because 'everyone needs a bosom for a pillow'.

Gil: Caribou, Caribou = charisma.
