Torpedo Buoy's current album and touring line up has Scottish guitar hero Graeme Mearns (Graeme Mearns Band, Joe Viturbo) on guitar, keyboard tickler extrodinaire Frank Hands on piano, Dimitris Papageorgou on violin, and both Hungarian Great, Balazs Hermann, and Fence Records rockabilly rebel, Alan Reed, on double bass. Ali Hayes adds ukelele when we let him.
Simon adds vocals, sax, clarinet and flute.
He is occasionally joined by:
Ari Messer, mandolin maestro and all things stringed supremo.
Reginaldo Dias, tunefully triumphant trumpet trills
Benji Perez Ulecia, flying fingered flamenco flautist.
Liz Longden, dulcet toned tainted torch song temptress (and Isabella, soloist on The Pandora Complex)
Andrew Grieg, poetic banjo
And Cedric, poundingly cussing percussion
