Garry Randall - Drums                                                  

Garry started drumming at 15 with Harlow band SILIKA RICH, then with East London's BIRD OF PREY and briefly with URIAH HEEP's DAVID BYRON's band followed by FALLEN ANGEL who were a regular at the Bridge House, Canning Town and were the house support band. The band also were briefly signed to A&M and had one single "Cant Hold Me Down" released. He then joined RELAY but left when RELAY started to lean towards more Rush inspired material.
 
After a stint with covers band Aunt Lucy (featuring Dave Gray of SIDEWINDER) and a near miss with rock band TOTAL (who all lived in a house in Bedfordshire and built a studio in the basement) Garry left the kit behind and stood in front of the mic with a guitar for two original bands DROP DEAD LEGS (featuring the now deceased Mick Taylor of Chesham on guitar) and EZ MUNGO who got to play Hammersmith Odeon and gambled it all Stateside with no success.
 
On returning to the UK in 1994, and now in Hertfordshire, Garry went back to drums and joined a few local bands including PLAYERS and BEERHUNTER but the frontman bug bit again and he formed the long lasting and highly successful covers band GOODFELLAS and a band playing his own material called FACE FOR RADIO which featured High Wycombe drummer Dave Quinton.
 
Then in 2005 he formed 24 Carat Purple with Pete Hartley and they remain the only two original members. In 2009 he also joined local covers bands FOURPLAY and ROCK BOTTOM and performed with his own covers band KEROSENE where he returns to the mike stand. When Rob Sas joined 24CP and Ross left BURN, Garry had lost his seat with FOURPLAY and so has joined up with BURN for some enjoyable three piece suites.
 
Garry also failed an audition for Soul Purpose back in 1994 but don't tell John!!
