Will
Click to hear what he's been up to in Wales with accordion player Edward JayWilliam Pound is son of Bill Pound who formed Steamchicken with Ted Crum and Andrew Sharpe in 1992. His folk background started when he was quite young when when he was asked to joined Chinewrde Morris Dancers as the drummer at the age of 10. His first gig with them was at the Spa Centre in Leamington Spa at the 25th Peeping Tom Anniversary Ceilidh.
In 2001 Will joined Mallemarokers (now resting) a 12 piece big band which came about from the Chinewrde band that played at Sidmouth Folk festival 2001. That was a big experience for Will as a upcoming musician. In 2003 Will joined Steamchicken along with Matt Crum (Soprano Sax) and Mandy Sutton (Tenor Sax). He plays harmonica, percussion and piano.
Will has finished his BTEC National Diploma in Music Practice at Warwickshire College and is sampling the delights of Geordie land aka Newcastle doing the folk degree at the Sage an international music centre for folk, jazz, classical and all sorts of other types of music.
Will has been playing the harmonica (his main instrument) for about he thinks 8 years with vague memories of a certain Mr Crum giving him his first harmonica. Bill Pound can be blamed for the boogie-woogie and blues style Will has developed on Piano and Keyboards and less said about drums the better.
