AMBER
Vocals
Amber Kuti stands as the second youngest member of the group, just pipping the baby faced Tomos to the post. Having graduated 3 years ago from her music degree, Amber has gone on to travel and gig around the world including stops off in Denmark, Brazil, Nepal and India. Beyond The Tremé, Amber is increasingly in demand across the music scene of the northwest, and with good reason too. Between different cover and original projects, Amber is a very busy lady to track down, and we’re very fortunate to have her as First Lady of The Tremé.

CRAIG
GUITAR/Vocals
Craig Gamble has been a professional musician since the tender age of fourteen, following a Harry Potter-esque upbringing locked under the stair with only a guitar and Ukelele for company. Initially working as a guitarist/vocalist and touring with various original acts, Craig soon branched out as a multi instrumentalist and is extremely proficient on an array of instruments. Day to day, Craig runs his creative family business Gamble Strings And Things, offering music tuition, workshops, storytelling, drama, composition, studio production and music mentoring, allowing both his full time job and musical passions to merge seamlessly.
EWAN
KEYS/Vocals
When Ewan isn’t managing his two tiers or taking mid-set video selfies with The Tremé, he can be found tinkling the ivories for international touring ballet company, Northern Ballet. Touring has taken him to the most exotic corners of the world, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the ever sunny Goole, which has led him to gather a fairly extensive tutu collection. He plays with function bands around the UK and works classically as an accompanist for companies including Opera North and Liverpool Philharmonic.
tom
tenor saxophone
Tom studied music at Liverpool Hope University and cut his teeth into the Liverpool music scene as a saxophonist. He can be found playing all over the country with bands like The Blow Back Horns, Snazzy Swing Band and other function bands! His involvement with multiple choirs and jazz orchestras have given him the platform to perform at impressive venues, such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Millennium Stadium; also music festivals including Fiesta Bombarda and Threshold. Tom currently works as a peripatetic teacher, teaching saxophone, guitar, drums, vocals, flute and clarinet to children of all ages and levels of ability. Tom can often be found plumping up the volume of his hair and practicing his signature for when he is old enough to use it properly.

JIM
DRUMS
Jim, one of the founders and managers of The Tremé, has been playing drums since the age of 11 where he persuaded his music teacher to give him a go behind the kit. As it didn’t sound too bad, he kept going and has gone on to work across TV, Theatre, in the studio and live. Working credits include The Alphites, Hillary & The Democrats, House that Jack Built, Silent Sleep, Hollyoaks, and countless function bands. He is proud to have accomplished his grade 4 clarinet at the tender age of 13. He failed his grade 5 clarinet a year later. Oops.
