MAT SPARROWHAWK Company/job title:
Lamba plc – design and marketing executive
Years in the industry? 20 odd years
First single bought? The first record I bought with my own money was Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Favourite album? It’d be between Closer by Joy Division, the Cure's Pornography and Replicas by Tubeway Army. All happy sing along classics.
Currently listening to? Mt. Desolation's eponymous album has been on a loop since it came out last year.
Favourite musician? The incomparable Peter Hook for bass and Gary Numan for everything else.
Which instruments do you play? I play bass badly and guitar even worse.
Are you currently in a band? I've been in The Bearded Ladies for close to two decades.
With a very well received debut album out and a second currently in the pipeline, this Hertfordshire-based quintet is making waves with its combination of heavy riffs and moody atmospheric sounds. Here’s what they use to do it…
ADAM CROWLEY Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Standard, Faded Tobacco burst finish, Burstbucker pro pickups, Fender Stratocaster, American Standard, Black, white scratchplate, Bareknuckle 'Sinner' pickup in the bridge, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head with Mesa Rectifier 4 x 12 cab, Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, RV-5 Reverb, DD-3 Delay, GE-7 Equalizer, TR-2 Tremolo, TU-2 Tuner, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff pedal.
TIM BLYTH Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Double Cut, Bullion Gold finish, Gibson Pro
