‘Then Came The Wheel’ comprise of four great musicians; Doug Morter, (guitar and vocals), Alan Thomson, ( bass and guitar), Arran Ahmun (drums and percussion), and Foss Paterson ( keyboards).
Although having known each other for many years and played together in a variety of combinations, it was only a few years ago that through a series of events and Doug’s involvement with guitar accomplice Jerry Donohue, that all four had the good fortune to share a stage together one evening in Oslo. There was an obvious and immediate chemistry that prompted the guys to stick together for a while.
Interest was keen and venues and promoters alike saw that there was something potentially special here.
Two years down the line sees the completion of a first album; ‘I Think I Will Fall.
This album offers a taste of the band’s own unique blend of R&B which has an impressive and solid musicality to it and a rich soulful strength in songs.
With a collective background that has seen them play and record with artists such as; John Martyn, Phil Collins, Andy Summers, Jerry Donohue, Julia Fordham, Clannad, The Waterboys, Robert Palmer, Fish, Linda Lewis, Alison Moyet, and many more, the band have drawn on and utilised their creative experiences, patience and good humour to produce something that’s hopefully very accessible to most ears.

“Connection Interupted is about not calling one particular place home”. Collette McGuire is interested in how people choose to live their lives but also how so many people have no choice because of the economic background they are born into. She questions how the people she has connected with define “happiness”. Her photographs show the different cultures, places and people that she has experienced through her own upbringing and life choices.” www.collettemcguire.co.uk
