Toby Armstrong
Toby used to sing with the NYCGB (that’s the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, not the New York City Gas Board as someone once suggested).
He now acts at the vocal tutor of the HCYC (that’s Hampshire County Youth Choir) and is a member of the London-based choir Chantage. During the day he works for John Lewis. He makes very deep resonant noises.

Rupert Thomas
Devastatingly handsome and tolerably high pitched; no, wait, that should read “devastatingly high-pitched and only tolerably handsome.” Will work for real ale or smutty pictures; accepts bribes if paid in single malt past the age of majority. Used to sell expensive shoes and expensive sofas but he is currently training to be a teacher.

Nick Dyer
Nick is a first class bass-player, whose life is currently occupied by trying to rebuild his house.
Jon Dyer
Jon is currently tying with Nick in being the second arranger of the group, as he has now finally finished arranging ‘Fields of Gold’. He has recently got married to the lovely Rachel, and is now counting down the days until retirement.

- Political inclinations
- Not sure there’s anyone decent anymore…somewhere left to central, or is that something else…
- Likes
- Computers, Films, Music, Boardgames. I can be extremely competitive, which is why no one will play with me – apart from Rachel!
- Dislikes
- Not much really – I tend to like most things…except Creme Caramel
Alex Henderson
Alex arranges most of the music for Live Noise, but nobody quite knows what he does for a living. It’s probably very interesting, though. Obsessive about food, drink, and sharpening his collection of expensive kitchen knives. Has terrible handwriting and jumps around a lot.
- Height
- 5′11″
- Shoe size
- Very large. Will never need to buy snow shoes.
- Favourite food
- Don’t know, haven’t tried them all yet.
- Favourite cocktail
- Mojito
- Favourite quote
- Not everything which is obvious is true.
- Political inclinations
- Don’t vote, you’ll only encourage them.
- Dislikes
- Ironing, obviously. Doesn’t like children much either – although on toast, possibly.
