Lee Brown - Lead Vocal

Banned from Karaoke in his native Liverpool , Virgin Airlines "Fly Me a Tune" finalist, Lee Brown, promised the rest of the band that he'd never knowingly sing 'Mustang Sally' again. "Fair do's - even Wilson 'Picketed' me when he heard me sing it", he admitted. These days Lee woos the ladies with his manly physique, saturnine goatee and silk tongue whenever he sings Flower Station's heady mix of Psychedelia, Glam and Cheese. Many a time have they swooned at his cries of "Calm down, calm down!" during live gigs in his unmistakable scouse brogue!


Bryan Vaughan - Lead Guitar

Bryan is infamously responsible for the band's recent gig at Oxford 's Annual Masonic Ball being cut prematurely short. During interval canapés, the Grand Master's wife enquired about Bryan 's profession and thought he replied "Stoned Mason", resulting in the whole band being arrested for suspected possession of illegal drugs. "Those dudes on the square gave me the third degree, man! I'm a freaking Stone Mason!" Bryan told police when bail was posted. Keep chiseling away at those groovy 60's and 70's licks on your Paisley Pink Strat, Bryan! (Although a plectrum might sound better..)


Andy Glynn - Rhythm Guitar

Unlike the rest of the band, ex Ufologist and '60's folk revival dirge writer, Andy's stage costume is a genuine representation of his current everyday attire. But opinion is divided as to whether that makes him a latter day hippie or rampant transvestite. "I don't give a toss, especially if the wife is driving!" says androgynist Andy. Either way, after a hard days work as an environmental boffin, Andy likes nothing more than to settle down in the privacy of his own bedroom to pluck his instrument. Rest assured he always tosses off a great tune on his Groovy Gibson for Flower Station!


Psychadelic Kev - Bass Guitar

Kev's interest in Rock started after expulsion from Eton for slamming a Fender Jazzmaster into the young David Cameron's goolies after a school band practise.  Despite gaining a first in Applied Treachery at Oxford, Kev failed an audition with the KGB, and instead opted to take up a profession in music.  He broke into a Bullingdon Club meeting to retrieve the broken Machine Head he had lodged in Cameron's testes a few year ealier, re-assembled his bass - and the rest is History.  "I joined Flower Station as it is a psychotic band" he says.


Gary Audas - Drums

Like Keith Moon, John Bonham, Ginger Baker and a host of other classic drummers of the '60's and 70's, Gary enjoys getting utterly plastered while on tour. Although the tour is usually of Wantage pubs while out with his mates on Friday nights. After the band's highly acclaimed gig at the Harwell Nuclear Weapons Guild Dinner Dance, Gary was asked what his main influences were: "Triple Blackjack, Pernod and Coke with Ice, usually", he replied. Lead guitarist Bryan Vaughan added; "Gazza keeps impeccable time - he knows exactly when to get the last round in. Crap drummer though."
