Shane Smith (guitar/vocals)

Shane started playing guitar at about the age of 13. switching from classical to electric -that was what everyone did back in the 70's....and obviously there was the school rock band (with Bow on base). During college there were a few loose groupings and a brief association with the boys who became the Merton Parkas but it wasn't until after Uiversity, marriage, children, that he linked up with a University friend, Nick Davey to form the Catford Dogs,a pop/rock three piece that played around Soth London in the late 80's into the mid 90's. Nick's move to the USA and Tony Bell's (bass) retirement to the South of France meant that there was a fallow period , until after a very long gap, Shane was reunited with Bow. Sadly, Shane had to leave the band due to family committments in April 2010.
