Gosse is not only the youngest bastard in our bunch, but also the most all-round musical bastard. In Bunch of Bastards, he restrict himself to ‘merely’ playing electric guitar, mandoline, banjo and tin whistle, in real life he plays bass, drums and accordion as well. He is an old soul with youthful energy, contributing also to our attempts at songwriting.
Sebastiaan is the latest addition to the Bunch of Bastards line-up. When we were on the lookout for someone to fulfill guitar duties, his auditioning was so good that the main question was if we were good enough for him. Luckily we passed the test and he now is a proud bastard, doing his wonders on both acoustic and electric guitar with us.
Andries only picked up pumping the accordion in his mid-forties, after a severe illness made him rethink the priorities in life. Soon he found himself touring, sitting in, songwriting and recording with the likes of MrIB, Mahones, Circle J, Sir Reg, Bastards on Parade, Greenland Whalefishers, Firkin and Ceili Family. In Bunch of Bastards, he is living the dream once again!
Jasper is an enthousiastic and passionate singer with a great voice, adding his thoroughly Irish maternal roots to our otherwise Dutch born bunch. He throws himself into each song with all he has to offer, attacking the lyrics, the mike and the stage floor with a ferocious eagerness which reveals the bastard deep down in him. On top of that, he is a fine songsmith too.
