I (Andrew) started taking guitar lessons around 10 years old and as most kids do lost interest after a couple of years. Then, apart from late night guitar sessions, life took over. Fast forward to the year 2011 and an old friend who’s been sitting in the corner for all those years patiently waiting called out and said ….Right! where were we? Let’s get back to it shall we? Since then, I’ve played regularly, and became heavily involved with Act1 Theatre at Strathpine doing lighting and sound for the productions and being involved in the theatre’s band known as The Actones, here I found like-minded people and an outlet for my creativity having so far written 2 full length musicals, and our current offering “The Garage Band”. 🙏

Douglas has been playing on stage in bands since the early 2000s, and was a foundation member of the Actones, who are the resident band at Act1 Theatre, Strathpine. Performing in The Garage Band gives him the opportunity to play and sing the songs he loves.

Tom has played guitar and sung his entire adult life, mostly around campfires and parties, until he started acting 13 years ago. Since then the playing side of entertainment has taken second place, mostly, until now. The Garage Band sees him back behind his stratocaster. Tom knows all the chords but he doesn’t make it cry or sing… except one time, All Those Years Ago.

Mark AKA Stuart, started learning bass in his late teens. He was a member of bands in Albury/Wodonga before moving to QLD. Mark and starting an originals band, MD3. MD3 perished an album and then life intervened. 35 years later and Mark is playing with Occasionally Jazz, providing lighting support for Act One Theatre shows and now broadening his skill set with a little acting with The Garage Band.
