Resident Guest Musicians


 

Keith Buck
(Pedal Steel, Acoustic & Electric Guitars/ Keyboards/ Mandolin/ Background Vocals)

Keith started playing guitar at the age of ten and his early influences included Cat Stevens, Free, Eric Clapton and of course, the Eagles. He spent his early years working with various bands earning just enough money to buy his first Gibson guitar and a Vox AC30 amp. In 1976 when he was sixteen he turned professional and eventually progressed to the Country-Rock band, Reno. In 2005 he joined Martin Turner’s world famous Wishbone Ash and later the same year played Pedal Steel on the UK Number #1 Album ‘The Tony Christie Collection’. Keith made his Talon debut in March 2008 and has quickly established himself as a major asset to the band with his amazing talent and versatility.

  
       
 

Craig Wainwright
(Piano/ Keyboards/ Percussion)

Craig made his Talon debut as an occasional guest player during the ‘Hell Freezes Over Revisited’ tour of 2006. This young talent has potential to burn and so impressed that he was offered the gig as a full time guest for ‘Take It Easy To ‘Eden’. Although Craig’s first instruments are Drums and Guitar respectively, he has used his pure natural ability to fill the role of Piano, Keyboards and Percussion with an ease that belies his tender years.
