Here is a short biography of The Tremeloes that you see on stage today
Joe lives in Surrey, UK with his wife Lesley, son Kit, daughter Jodie and a dog called Muttley. Joe has always been in the music business. Many people don't know that Joe was once a Womble, the big furry creatures that were invented by Englishman Mike Batt. Joe starred as "Wellington". Joe was and still is a top class recording engineer. He engineers and produces all the new Trems tracks as well as playing keyboards and programming the drums on them. Before joining the Trems 11 years ago Joe had recorded many top names in the music business and was also the engineer for Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
Dave lives in Berkshire, UK with his wife Andre‚ daughter Ciara, son Christian and two Scotty dogs. Dave has been the one and only Trems drummer since the band started in 1958 and has never played with another band.
Davey lives part time in the UK, and most of the time in Germany together with his wife Edith. He joined the Trems just after Joe joined. Davey has recorded with Earth, Wind & Fire, Johnny Logan and many, many more artistes. He has also written songs with many people. He has been in small bands and large orchestras and has a repertoire of over 400 songs. He has the ability to play and sing any song you would like to hear.
Rick lives in Berkshire, UK with his wife Lynn, and a tortoise named Meat Pie. Their two grown up daughters, Helen and Heidi, live in their own houses. Rick and Lynn are only couple to have a grandchild, Kerry who is nearly 4 years old. Rick has many hobbies and interests and says that he finds it difficult to find time to do them all. Rick got into keeping unusual pets for many years. He has had 3 snakes, 3 Tarantula spiders, 6 Anolis lizards and a Horned Chameleon. Rick found a baby snake under a tree in his garden and took it into his house to look after it. The snake used to curl up along his arm when he was watching TV. Rick fed it and put it in the cage with the tortoise. It was later discovered that it was a Viper, a poisonous snake. Rick had to let it go. Rick is known as "The Gadget Man" because he is always buying the latest electronic equipment and carries small "gadgets" around with him. Rick loves The Spice Girls and hates anyone who says bad things about them.
