Neotopia is changing
We have, for the last few years been a five piece band, based in south Shropshire. The line-up has fluctuated a few times, due to the geographic spread of its members - and the availability of each to rehearse or get to gigs.
Original guitarist Gareth Kirk and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Carolina, both of whom from mid Wales, had to leave the band at the end of 2008, for this very reason.
Vocalist Laura Higgs and jazz guitarist Stuart Thomas soon took their place. However, even with this new team, many writing sessions have often had an absence of members of even this regular group. And now that Gareth is making appearances in sessions, once more, we have decided that Neotopia will become more of a musical collective, than being regular group. This means that gigs and sessions may or may not feature all or most of this pool of musicians. Some songs familiar to you here might not be played at certain gigs, whereas other gems, you haven't heard before, will.
Welcome back, Gareth. Sort of.

we used to make an effort to have at least three completely different lineups at each show, preferably each including some people who had never played together before... so you're on the right track!
