DEAD BONE RAMBLERS.
Formed in 2012 by Steve Whitworth ( Upright Bass) & Mick Cocksedge (Vocals/Rhythm Geetar). The original lead guitarist Nigel McCorkell (lasted just six shows).
This was at the end of 2012 so old buddy Gordon Doel was asked to help out with gigs already booked for 2013 ( and was still there to the very end)
They released a 45 rpm record in 2014 (only 200 copies) on their own label 'Hick' to coincide with their show at the Rockabilly Rave , this record sold out within weeks !
In 2016 they were signed by Carlos Diaz to El-Toro Records, the band soon after recorded and released their debut album & 4 track vinyl EP titled 'Tales From Dead Bone Valley - Vol 1' . This album & EP was engineered & produced by Gordon's Brother David Doel.
For some shows towards the end Phil Morgan joined the band playing Steel guitar on stage as well as on a few album tracks.
