Harmonica and congas
Tom plays harmonica and congas, adding melodic hooks and a warm rhythmic pulse to everything Groove & Grin play.
Lead vocals and acoustic guitar
Roger sings lead vocals and plays acoustic guitar. He fronts most of the set and picks a lot of the songs the band knows will get a room singing along.
Fender Jazz bass
Tyrone holds it together on Fender Jazz bass and smiles a lot -- essential in this line-up. Between them, the three of us cover the low end, the top end and every grin in between.
Keyboards
Alan plays keyboards, colouring the trio's arrangements with pads, piano and organ sounds that suit the era of the song.
Drums
Karl drives the whole thing along on drums, from a gentle brush behind a ballad to a full-tilt groove when the room's up on its feet.
No dates in the diary right now. If you'd like Groove & Grin to play at your pub, venue or event, get in touch — we're always up for a proper night out.

TODO - a second placeholder testimonial. Keep quotes short, warm and specific -- the room they filled, the crowd they got singing, the ballad that stopped everyone talking.
