Banjax
Banjax was a folk and ceilidh-dance band based in Hastings on the south coast of England, mainly active during the 1990s. The name is a play on words, referencing the fact that its members were initially drawn from the members of the local Mad Jacks Morris dancers. The band initially coalesced more or less organically around the iconic figure of Dave Roberts, a melodeon player who for some years had been a member of the folk super-group Blowzabella before he moved to Hastings to take up a job teaching at the local college. The initial line-up of Banjax was as follows (in alphabetical order); Peter Bolwell (saxophone and recorder), Brian Chainey (drums), Gilly Henry (later to be known as Gilly Linn – violin and recorder), Dennis Langley (concertina), Keith Leech (trombone), Cliff Mason (bass guitar), Pete Moore (trombone and vocals), Neil Parker (recorder and lead guitar), Lynda Ridley (recorder), Dave Rimell (rhythm guitar), and Dave Roberts (melodeon and whistle). Banjax was basically a ceilidh-dance band, and ceilidhs require a "caller" to direct the dances and guide people through the movements before and during the performance. Unlike many such bands however Banjax did not need to work with external callers, since both Dave Roberts and Keith Leech were well able to do this themselves.
