The band’s name was chosen at a joint gig with Uncle John’s Band and Flash Company at the Crown and Anchor in Shoreham back in 1991 when someone asked us to play the Joni Mitchell song “Big Yellow Taxi”.

With Rick on guitar, mandolin, whistles, harmonicas, sawn off clarinet and more or less any instrument you give him, BYT offers a wide variety of music, Jigs and Reels, a bit of Irish, lots of strong rock numbers, ballads, instrumentals combined with a blend of vocal harmonies, we deliver a varied style of acoustic folk-rock.

We play a lot in pubs but also at weddings, birthday parties and many other private functions. To enquire, click on the \"Contact\" button above left.

Gerry $\"\"$

\n"); document.write("

He's so cool, just stands there and struts that thing, putting the E into electric! Parisian Walkways is the one that really gets to the crowd but it's all good and seems to be effortless. Rick and I get quite jealous and want to cut his fingers off. Not only that, we've just discovered he can sing! All these years he's hidden it from us, mind you, I don't know how he can sing AND play that Red Guitar at the same time.

Martin, 26, attended the same special school as Gerry.(49)

Previously drummer with famous combos Sticky Wicket, Zoo and more recently Switch, (whatya mean you’ve never heard of them), Martin has postponed plans to re-organise his airing cupboard to become a full time BYT'er!

Peter

$\"\"$ Worthing – “good place to be if you’ve got a guitar, pretty rotten if you haven’t”, so there really was no option. I joined the band to seek refuge, either that or become a councillor – what would you do? It’s no use writing to the local paper as an angry local resident, so I thought I'd join a band. It’s grown over the years and - at this juncture - I have to say how much I love it; the next UK tour might take in Selsey Bill and Shoreham!

I have been playing music since I was a small child , now I'm a big child!!! I see it as a damn fine evening out with good friends. When I am not playing, I'm a keen fan of driving games on Playstation 2, Burnout 2 being my favourite. Other things that fill me with glee are, fresh air, roasties in pubs and acoustic sessions at the Selden Arms. I have just taken up going to the gym to try and shed some lard. I'm pleased to report that it is working - I can now nearly see and touch my toes!!! Cheers.

Many years ago, Roger attempted to learn guitar but he soon became hopelessly confused by the number of strings and had to undergo years of therapy with a 4-string bass guitar. Fortunately, the medication is showing signs of success, and he has recently taken a further step towards recovery by adding an extra string sometimes, making 5 in all. Out of consideration to the public, we usually prevent him from singing.
