Bash Out The Odd

Bash Out The Odd's brass section pictured live on stage in December, 1989 in Nuneaton at a club called Graysons. Left to right: Bryan Hudley (bass trombone), Martin Cooper (trumpet & Eb trumpet), Mark Allison (trumpet, cornet).

“All three continued in the band when we metamorphosed into The Strangeloves (1991) but bailed out by the time we became The Lovebirds (1992). Bryan moved to live in Cornwall and has since become one of the UK's leading conductors and classical music arrangers and he is something of a star on the brass band and classical scenes.

Mark Allison was a peripatetic music teacher in the Coventry area the last time I heard and the sensational Martin Cooper ended up playing with The Soul Survivors in the 1990s.

All three were involved with me again briefly in the mid 90s when they recorded with K.W.S. when I was working for Network and both Mark and Martin also appeared in the video along with yours truly on bass guitar for the top 30 smash hit "Hold Back The Night" by K.W.S. featuring The Trammps which was shown on "Top Of The Pops."
