Dr Filth

John Nuttall says: "I managed Dr. Filth for a while, we later renamed them "The Serpents" as we mistakenly thought that might make them more commercially viable. The line up was Don Durham: Vocals, Mark Coley: Bass, Dave Holmes: Guitar, Ella: Keyboards, Alec Sidebottom: Drums. Dave Holmes was replaced by Paul 'Rosie' Rosendfelt on guitar, Ella by Dave Carroll on keyboards. Don Durham was the songwriter, he then wrote a country influenced set for Mike Finney (ex-Distractions) and Dr. Filth became First Circle with Mike on vocals. After Mike left First Circle carried on with ex-Yes Sir vocalist, Dean Frost. There were various other line ups with Don on vocals, those who served included: Anthony Behrendt: guitar, Victor Freeman: Bass, Aziz Ibrahim (from Simply Red & The Stone Roses): Guitar, Paul Fairweather: Guitar, Paul O' Sullivan: Bass, Craig Gannon (ex-Smiths): Guitar, John Bohan (ex-Biting tongues): drums, Tony Small (ex-Biting Tongues): Bass, eventually we recorded an album under the band name of Sundiver. The lineup consisted of Don: Vocals, Richard Steel (ex-Ghost Dance and later Spacehog): Guitar, Andrew von Melchior: Keyboards, John Grant (ex-Ghost Dance): Drums & production, Pat Grant: Bass" (Submitted 08.11.08)
