Billy Miller - Bass
"I like beer, beer likes me. It's as easy as ABC"
"I'm drinking lager - for safety reasons"
"It's a gift"
These are just a few of Billy's many drunken catch phrases. His most famous moment was when he was carrying his bass amp down the stairs after a gig. Drunk as anything, he fell over backwards, got stuck underneath his amp and had to lie there until we came and rescued him.
Either that or when he went on stage with a bin liner attached to his belt as a colostomy bag !
