Steve Harris
Before joining the band my musical background was mostly solo acoustic covers, which I’ve been performing since my teens. I’d always wanted to get involved in louder and more energetic rock and indie music and the band has been perfect for that. I love nothing more than getting an audience up and dancing, and than getting sweaty jumping around a stage.

I have been playing guitar for the best part of 15 years and have played in a handful of different bands.
Playing lead guitar with The Desert Penguins has pushed me to learn a whole variety of songs and become a better guitarist.
Learning new songs with the rest of the band is great fun as we add our own style as much as possible.
Ade Richardson
I’ve been smashing the skins for 30 years in a range of bands. Smitten by the skills from the greats like Zeppelin and the Foos I strive to keep the crowd up dancing with a solid rhythm. With The Desert Penguins we like to keep updating our playlist, challenging me to take my skills to the next level.
Jack Daniels
As a musician I have worked across the country performing in gigs, concerts and shows on Trumpet, Piano and Bass Guitar. Joining the Desert Penguins has given me the opportunity to move away from behind the scenes session work to good fun performing!
Playing Bass in the band is really good fun and I love being able to see the audience react to our set!
