Tim Dunn : After his split with Fender, Tim had a brief stint with the Desperate Bicycles
. After 6 months with them he left to join Pete Turner’s Step On The
Gas. At the same time worked with Chris Fleming (ex-
Mick Arloe : After leaving Fender, Mick did nothing musical for a year, then formed Big Easy in 1998 with Barry Morgan (an old friend and Bass player), Kevin Brazier and Rich Yanke (Below The Belt). Tim Nowell replaced Barry soon after and Colin Jones (guitarist with Then again) was recruited later. Big Easy split around 2002 and Mick went on to do some solo work.
Andy Mills : Andy went on to form The Jameson Set; a jazz trio featuring Kevin Brazier
on the piano. He was, during Fender days, part of the acoustic blues trio Mills and
Boon with Tim Dunn. Pete Turner and Mick Arloe both had stints with this ensemble
as a kind of acoustic spin-
Andy Broad : Andy continued his involvement with Burnt Ice throughout his time with Fender. They are still performing today. He also continues to play with The Continentals (formally The Rhythm Kings) with Tim Nowell. He would often be seen busking in the city centre; just like the bluesmen of old. He was the real thing when it came to blues. He helps run the Barking Spider blues promotion company, responsible for promoting blues acts and other musicians in Portsmouth bringing in acts from throughout the UK, and he set up the Barking Spider website. Andy also plays solo gigs throughout the south and is definitely a performer worth leaving the comfort of your home to go and see live.
Kevin Brazier : As mentioned previously, Kevin played in The Jameson Set, with Andy Mills and joined Silicon Strings with Tim Dunn and Chris Fleming (Caricature). He played Fender’s farewell gig at the Contented Pig where some of the ladies in the audience threw their underwear at him and he is seen in the photo gallery with several items of lingerie strewn over his piano. Tom Jones, eat your heart out! He helped to form Big Easy with Mick Arloe, Barry Morgan, Rich Janke and Tim
