And again from Hobo

"SPLINES

In the band we find John Rogers bongos and percussion; Baz Andruszko on bass guitar; Gils Monks - Barritone / Tenor / Alto / Flute / Alto Flute / Clarinet; Brian Johnson on Trombone; Graham Dent (ex Wave) on guitar. The band can be seen at the MERCIA every Thurs evening."

In Hobo magazine we cited Fergie Maynard (ex Sid Lawrence Orchestra) as the drummer but Fergie has clarified that he didn't play for Splines

Comment from Fergie Maynard - "Fergie Maynard here. Although I have worked with the great latin percussionist John Rogers when I had my orchestra in Coventry Warwickshire. I did not work with SPLINES so the real drummer should take the credit. These days I would only work for MIRAMAX with Gwyneth Paltrow Albert Finney Mathew Modine"

So not sure who the drummer was with this band.
