	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!
	Frank Watters - Bass Guitar Thrown out of 127 Oxfordshire bands for playing too loud, retired Training Consultant and part time bar steward Frank recently found his niche with Flower Station. "I can play as loud as I like 'cos these guys are so far out they're on another planet!" hard of hearing Frank recently shouted from his sound-proofed toilet in Abingdon.  Sorry Frank - but the band employs a secret roadie to turn your amp down when you're not looking - surely you recall Judy in disguise with glasses?!  But consider the bright side - not just a comfortable sound level - no bum notes either!!!
	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."
	On selected dates the boys are joined by backing singers, Debs and Dawn: Debbie Doyle When not conducting 'training' sessions for the business community (ooeer!), Debbie joins forces with husband Darren, co-singer Dawn and a host of other hard rockers with their Heart tribute band. But when the phone rings for a Flower Station gig - well, it's a different story: "That lot again! I suppose I'll have to put on the mini skirt, stockings, suspenders, knee length boots, silk bodice and apply heavy mascara and lip gloss - and then caterwaul that f***ing Nancy Sinatra crap all over again!" says Debs in tears (of laughter). "Still, a fiver's a fiver I suppose!", she adds.
	Dawn Lewis When singing with Debs, ex Network Rail bureaucrat and occasional Nurse (yummy!), Dawn has always tried to avoid putting their surnames on the bill as 'Professional' Singers. "I get really pi**ed off when people think "Lewis and Doyle" is something to do with that 80's cop show - the one featuring that pair of preening permed prats!" she exclaims, in a measured, yet assertive tone. Mind you, when on stage with Debs and the rest of Flower Station, Dawn's groovy dance moves prove quite "arresting" for the audience, I can tell you! Take us into custody girls - Phwoar!
