The road goes ever on - and takes unexpected turns  on the way. Our magical combo has evolved a new form with the arrival of Rhys Wilson on songs, guitar, voice, and terrible jokes; and now we've broken all the rules and let in an infectious new variant in David Cammish on rock-steady bass. It works, and the songs keep coming. We'll find the sounds that tell their stories. Please join us.

Our albums and two EPs can be ordered online at www.clunkandarattle.com. 

 

Mark Gamon - guitar, voice
 

Mark is a writer who’s had a guitar in his hand since he was 12. He writes many of the songs played by Thursday’s Band, but gleefully expects to be overtaken by the band's other two writers. Starting in 2012, he has released two solo albums and played a big part alongside Matt Kelly in the 2024 arrival of Thursday's Band side hustle City of Song, by The Battered Case.  he's worked with Cambridge's Daniel Nestlerode and  Lizzie J Taylor, playing on albums for both. Over the years he’s played in several musical incarnations - including an ongoing collaboration with Sky West, 70s prog, an acoustic duo with David Hardie in the 90s, and the memorably named Dewhursts  in the early 80s.

David Cammish - bass
 

David has played in a variety of types of band, starting in a covers band, the trad jazz with The Ouse Valley Jazz Band, then a longish stint with Milton Keynes covers band The Misfitz, which morphed into San Remo, and played The Stables at Milton Keynes on five occasions, raising thousands for Willen Hospice and other charities. David's main instrument has been the bass guitar but he also plays ukuleles with The Upwood Ukuleles (The UpUs) and Huntingdon Ukulele Group (The HUGs). He is very pleased to join Thursday's Band and to develop his work on double bass. He also repairs musical instruments, having worked with the respected luthier Roger Giffin, which gave him the opportunity to work on instruments for the Stones, The Who, and Dire Straits among others. Please do not feed at gigs.
