This is David Bryant: rhythm / lead and vocals. David took over the singing from Norfolk soul-man Tony Spencer in the mid eighties. David had worked in a large number of bands since 1965, before (having seen David on a BBC TV programme) bassist Paul Morgan approached him to join the newly-formed 'Sirius' before their first gig. David can still be coaxed to play his pre-CBS Stratocaster at parties and jam sessions!
 David Bryant, lead vocals and rhythm

Ex-vocalist with influential cabaret unit 'Spencer's Children' Tony Spencer handled most of the lead vocals for the Risk's first three years. He had a sensational soul voice, but could be a little unpredictable at times! His stage performances were notable for their energy and sensuality, as well as the ever-present pint of Southern Comfort. If you read this Tony, I still have your tambourine!
Youngest member of Serious Risk (by a long way!) was lead guitarist and vocalist Howie Marsh. Howie was a great natural talent and, like many lead players, was obsessed with technology! If it was new and made a loud noise, Howie had to have it! His amp went up to TWELVE! Having said which, Howie's pride and joy was his vintage Fender amp and Gibson SG. Following severe tendonitis, Howie gave up playing for three years: soon after the Risks split up.... He's playing again, now, though: with another old friend Garth Coupland.
HERE'S the band's website!

 Howie Marsh, lead & vocals
Paul Morgan, bass
Bassist Paul Morgan was co-founder of the band with Howie. Paul cut his musical teeth in the sixties, playing the clubs of South Wales with some top names, including Dave Edmunds.
Like David, Paul still has all his gear! (Apart from his bass stack, that is: his daughter Jess uses that in her band!) He keeps threatening to give it 'one more go', only nobody asks him!
Colin Chettleburgh played joint lead with the band very early on: he was a lyrical (if somewhat 'busy') guitarist, who could be a little inclined to 'turn it up a wee bit' at gigs! Still: a good guy who probably should still be playing out there somewhere!
Chris Gray, drums
Serious Risk had four drummers: this was the best! Chris Gray ex 'The Veil' (and fifty-odd other bands!) was called in to dep for Chris Bould in 1990, liked the money and alcohol and kept playing! Still see him and his sax-playing other half at jam sessions.
And here's another! Colin Alden : a real nice guy, but he had the sense of rhythm of a very bad Catholic! He did record some of our early gigs and always bought his round (and ours too!) But if we had a party, he'd turn up last! (groan!)
Another good one! Chris Bould, who looked sooooooo much like a young Geronimo! This is Chris recording with us at Purple Studios: he was the consumate professional. Think he moved to Hull or somewhere.......
