The Yellow Brick Road
Inevitably, the hard grind of enjoying making music, touring and playing to our wonderful, loyal fans exacts a price. So we dedicate a page on the website for past Brothers...
The Bruised Brothers Band have had to farewell two of the greats, Chris and Robyn Crickett who have sought greener pastures and retirement in the beautiful Coromandel at Pauanui.
They don't get away lightly, we have saved their profiles to The Yellow Brick Road page.
Chris Crickett - Drums,Vocals
Chris was another vocalist in the Bruised Brothers Band, with his very own enthusiastic style. Chris always enjoys life, has repertory experience which was a great asset in his performances! Chris was very boisterous as a kid and this all added to the flavour of his singing and drumming. Pretty good on the tom-tom drums as well.
In his former life, Chris was our local veterinarian, always up to his armpits in cows! Not averse to delivering the odd 'agricultural' ditty!
Robyn Crickett - Vocals
Robyn had also joined the Bros, a valued member to the team, adding a whole new dimension to our performances. Chris's Robyn added backing to our repertoire of songs, helped keep us all in order and certainly made us a better looking bunch!
We did have to watch Robyn tho, she loved gardens, was a Landscape designer and loved getting her hands dirty. A very capable lady and kept us all in order!
