Time Wasters


Formed in 2004 , by bassist Al Swainger, Time Wasters offer a sublime mix of subtle syncopation, daring time changes and technical dexterity combined with good, honest, down to earth groove. Whether playing straight ahead or something a little more exotic, the music is never delivered with anything short of passion and intensity by a genuinely first rate band. Featuring many of the South West's finest musicians, Graham Hutton (trumpet), Roz Harding (alto sax), Lisa Tregale (tenor), Neil Burns (guitar), George Cooper (keyboards), Al Swainger (bass) and Gary Evans (drums) Time Wasters provides a perfect showcase for the formidable level of talent on offer, yet without ever losing sight of the most important aspect of any music - having fun and enjoying playing. "Relentlessly energetic Time Wasters specialise in Funk, Hard Bop & Latin Fusions with a 7 strong lineup that makes for a BIG sound."
