Burning Chrome presents the answers to the questions that are most often asked about bands:-

What sort of music do you play?
Burning Chrome’s set is best described as a mix of Classic Rock, with covers originating from the 60’s through to the 90’s. The band have concentrated on the 'Classic Era' but are now covering a larger number of contemporary songs.
Burning Chrome play no original material at present, but their interpretation of the songs covered always aims to enhance and energise, producing a unique and exciting sound. The band hopes that in the future there will be some songs written by themselves, in the style of the music they already play.
Here is a list of some of the artists that have been covered by Burning Chrome:-
Free, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Cream, T Rex, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Beatles, Pearl Jam, Stiltskin.... the list goes on.

How many are there in the band?
Burning Chrome has five members who are:-

Ian Oliver - Lead Vocals
Adrian Stoodley - Vocals and Lead Guitar
James Hunt - Rhythm Guitar
Simon Pratt - Bass Guitar
Ray Gardiner - Percussion

James also provides backing vocals.
In addition there is the Burning Chrome Road Crew and supporters, who are always present to move and set up equipment - and consume beer!

How established is the band?
The core of Burning Chrome has been playing for over five years. The band started off doing charity events, and soon achieved the status of playing at venues such as Minstrels in Taunton. The band is fully equipped with PA and lighting, with sufficient amplification to play larger halls. Background music before, after and during the interval can also be provided.

How loud is the band?
With increasing concerns about live music from pubs causing noise pollution, the band would like to assure you that if you have a noise limiter they can still play! Basically, they can be as loud as you want them to be, but they can turn down.

What length is the set?
The band can play for two hours or more, with a normal evening in a pub kicking off at 9.00pm and finishing for closing time. They normally take a short break in the middle of the set. Playing times are always negotiable.

How much do you cost?
Burning Chrome will negotiate competitive rates, dependent on the venue, event, and length of time required to play. Please contact the band for more details.

Where are you from, and how do I contact you?
Burning Chrome is based in the Taunton area in the county of Somerset, in the southwest of England, UK. All of the individual members do not live in the town, but it has always been regarded as the home base.

The band can be contacted by e-mail at Burning_Chrome@anarion.demon.co.uk

Finally, is there any way I can hear or see you before I book?
We do have demo CD, but we feel the best audition is for you to come and see us play. Our gig guide is available on this site. If this is not possible, we can supply a CD featuring examples of the material we perform. However, a telephone call to one of the venues on our gig guide will assure you that we are a popular and successful band. If you would like any further information, please contact the band using the e-mail address above.
