Piers Partridge
Vocals, Guitar, Dobro, Ukelele, Charango,
Banjo, Tin Whistle, Mbira. Chief bottle washer and cook for the Band, the Pindrop is Piers' idea and wish come true. He writes music for Film and TV, Steve Irwin being his best known Client.

Amy Schroeter
Amy is a part timer at the moment becuase of her studies in Cardiff. She's a natural untrained singer who can push out a Country song like she's been doing it for years. Big favourite with our audiences, full of vitality.
       

Wendy Partridge

Our very own Rock & Roll chick, Wendy travelled the world with Shriekback alongside Inxs before settling in Long Ashton. A true Pro. If she could just get her driving license sorted.

Phoebe Partridge

Vocals. Grew up on Cemaes Head, a wild headland
in West Wales, daughter of an equally wild acupuncturist. Sings like she's been listening to Billy Holiday her entire life, cooks a great stew and is no relation to the other Partridges in the Band.
       

Martin Solomon
Fiddle, Guitar, accordion, Ukulele, Tin Whistle, SitarOud, Tambouras. Martin plays almost every thing and plays it frighteningly well. He's been threatening to learn banjo and show Piers how it should be done. He does, however, drive a Maestro.
Fiona Andrews
Vocals. Put together the first ever Pindrop with Piers and has been singing ever since. Has a clarity and accuracy in her singing that can peel the skin off a lime. Fi is married to Piers and steadfastly refuses to take the Partridge surname. So she is related.
       

Henry Shafto

Percussion. Henry is a recent arrival in the Pindrop Band and plays both kit and percussion. He's well known in Bristol jazz circles for the sensitivity of his touch both on drums and also on Vibes. During the day he puts on different clothes and lectures at UWE in Urban Studies.


lizzie

Double Bass. Spotted by Henry over a year ago playing next to some railings in Fishponds. In her other life Lizzie can be found making candles, stained glass, pottery and other crafty thangs. And amazingly she lives local to Wraxall which seems like a blessing indeed. Great feels, great musicality.
       

kev griffiths

Acoustic guitar, Kev sits in the Pindrop Club engine room, pumping out solid punchy chords for the rest of us to ride on. Only recently moved to Bristol from West Wales and is unrecognizeable in red and black leathers when he's out on his super-bike.

louise schroeter
Band makeup artist

Louise is a wicked and weird makeup artist who regularly transforms the faces of the Pindrops for their Village Hall extravaganzas. Closely related to Amy Schroeter
and recently qualified as a Makeup Artist. Available for Private Bookings.
