Ian Dixon is an international performer, a fluent and masterful trumpeter and links up with Bob through the bands BLOW and Black Jesus
Experience. Ashley Gaudion is Melbourne Jazz royalty, a most in demand band leader, saxophonist, and very handy vocalist. A man who
never fails to impress. Gareth Hill on bass along with Bob is part of the Iconic Ted Vining Trio. Gareth is a powerful bassist who
