So Who Are They ?
 |
Scott Hardiman Frontman Vocals and Rhythm Guitar Nickname: Glitter Glam Famous for his uncanny rendition of Alice's Schools Out ! He has firmly established himself as Hard Rocker of the band, his ever increasing platforms and sexy leather outfits are renowned throughout the corridors of Glam - before his 70's regeneration, Scott toured Spain with the band Undercover, |
|
a multi-talented rock band, who also worked extensively in Britain, as did his later upwardly mobile outfit The Business - a group that always gave a good account of themselves. This is Scott's first incarnation as a frontman / vocalist for a Showband ! - Previously Scott played the bass, complete with compulsory miserable, silent look, and standing at the back ability - he was happy to swap this for a Lurex Lunch-box pose, and a lot of glam lipgloss!
Starsign - The Great Bare! Fave Drink - Babycham Age - The baby of the Band Fave Food - Hard Rock Cakes (Enough to fill his lunch-box) |

|
Richie MacPherson Lead Guitar and distant backing vocals. Nickname: Tele-glam Sam Strange and Mysterious ! - Richie recently arrived in our TARDIS, yet another incarnation of 'The Good Doctor', impressing us with his collection of rainbow jumpers, stripey scarves and 'interesting' footwear. He ain't no square with his corkscrew hair, and many of the girlie fans try running their fingers through his lustrous locks to see if this is another 'glam' wig. |

Complete with brooding, pouty, and mysterious air - there are hidden depths to his personality and recipe book (also being a dab hand in the kitchen). He certainly cooks up some interesting guitar licks (yum !) and adds a new dimension to the back up vocals. Before his trip in the TARDIS, his previous bands include Impakt (the glue-sniffers friends), a Free tribute band, and Gotcha. Richie enthusiastically exchanged ALL his hard earned credibility for a top-deck ticket on the delirious double decker ride that is Ballroom Glitz ! Starsign - The Seven Stars (a fave local pub) Fave Drink - Fire & Water (It's free !) Age - About 400,000 Dalek Krells) Fave Food - Double thick vanishing cream, with lots of Thyme |

 |
Lynton Carrier Drums and Percussion Nickname: Bam! Bam! Glam A founder member of Ballroom Glitz, Lynton was responsible for the original bad taste that gave the band its special flavour! (See his Rollers outfit) Often mistaken for the sex god of the Bay City Rollers - drummer, Derek Longmuir, you can see Lynton surrounded by hoards of panting women, who have long awaited the coming of Derek. |
|
He too has played with a myriad of Blues / R'n'B / Rock bands , most notable being the unaccountably strange cult band Pictures In A Dark Room, (weird time signatures or what ?) also Bobs Last Band featuring the notorious Bob Willimot who reneged upon his promise in the bands title, and is still playing to packed houses up and down his street. Many other bands had the benefit of Lyntons expertise, but he could not resist the opportunity to play Queen tracks, Sweet music, and wear spandex leggings. Starsign - Orion (Or is that just his Glamobile ?) Fave Drink - Shandy-A-Lang Age - Unsure - he uses the TARDIS as an age reduction aid !) Fave Food - Porridge - Or any Oats he can get ! |
|
|
Val Reiss Keyboards, Vocals & Pouting. Nickname: Kiss-A-Glam Another original member of Ballroom Glitz who keeps the TARDIS clean as a new pin. Val shocked all those who thought she was just the "Dooley On The Organ" by clambering into her super high platform boots, and sashaying about the stage, proving that all 70's keyboard players do NOT look like the bloke from Sparks ! - |
 |
|
The Sex siren of the band, you often see the Roadcrew forming a human barrier keeping back the clammy hordes from touching the hem of her garment. Val has been involved with bands ever since forming a duo with sister Kathy, these include Friendz, a band that toured Europe, Japan and the Azores together with Jon, Pete and Kathy (Incestuous bunch !) Also more recently Singled Out, which was startedwith other original Glitz member Brian Ellison, but Val swapped all that fame to form BG, and get the chance to wear the sequinned jacket that had languished in her wardrobe since 1978 ! Starsign - Venus (As long as she's in Blue Jeans) Fave Drink - Pink Lady (From Grease!) Age - Well, she did have a Ronco Record Vacuum ! Fave Food - Jumbo Curly Wurlies (She insists that this is a chocolate bar) |
|
 |
Pete Jezukiewich Bass Guitar & Lead Vocals Nickname: Groovy Glam Once more a member of Ballroom Gitz from birth, The "Doctor" in our TARDIS who keeps the sparkplugs shiny bright, and who inspires us with crazy inventions to make our trips more interesting ! eg. collapsing wastebin holder, surprise self-lowering loading ramp, joke wobbly fan, etc. |
|
Pete was as surprised as anyone when he suddenly found himself singing lead, puckering up those shiny, glossed lips and making the guitarist out of Mud look macho !!! - His first ever outfit was Kidderminster punk band "The Screaming Toys" and he went on to play with various college rock bands and R'n'B combos, including Bobs Last Band, Frendz, The Starving Rascals and others. Pete played many styles from Rock to Punk until he was lassoed by the lycra and sequins, compelling him to set the course of the TARDIS to the 1970's.
Starsign - Saturn (Most of his trousers are made from this !) Fave Drink - Double Diamond or any sparkly drink ! Age - He hoped he die before he got old .... Oops ! Fave Food - Spangles |

|
Kathy Donovan Vocals & Avant-Garde Percussion Nickname: Glamour Glam A passenger in the TARDIS from the beginning, Kathy is responsible for the Ballroom Glitz trademark pyro-tacknics, all driven along by her love of Music Hall sing-along, Vaudeville, Big Top circus, Sound Of Music, Sunday Night At The London Palladium, Eurovision type things ! - She entered the TARDIS from the planet "Showbiz Luvvie", having done |
 |
|
stints with Val on the organ, City Lights, Frendz, Toot and The Finks and others too unimportant to mention ! - Trip through the back catalogue of Lindisfarne, Donovan, Tyrannorsaurus Rex, James Taylor and Motown Greats to find her real musical roots, which she transplanted willingly into the warped mirrorball that is Ballroom Glitz ! Starsign - Mercury (Well, Freddie was a firm fave !) Fave Drink - Glass of Champagne (Hello Sailor !) Age - Five years less than the last visit to that expensive Californian surgeon. Fave Food - Luvvie Hearts |
