Paul Berry has appeared both backing and lead vocalist on many musical entertainment TV Shows. Stuart Pearce has toured with music legends Chuck Berry and The RockMelons. He has worked with Adam Lambert and Supergroove in the studio. In 2011 entered the New Zealand Hall of Fame as a member of “Hello Sailor”.
