Kieran “Bojo” Woodhouse
Job in rhesus: I’m the rhythm man. I’m a tub-thumper, but that’s drummer to you.
Job outside rhesus: I work for Asda, stocking shelves. Oh, the joy!
Favourite band: Ever since bonos vocals, edges melodies, Adams suave bass lines and Larrys beats graced my slightly undersized ears, they have been and always will be my favourite band. God, they’re good.
Least favourite band: Too many to mention. I despise, actually make that loathe, manufactured bands/groups, hip hop, r n b, and screamo/emo.
Gear used: I use a Tama kit (black), with paiste cymbals. A mixture of big dog/yamaha//pearl hardware. Tama Japanese oak 5a sticks.
Biggest musical influence: Ever since bonos vocals, edges melodies…. ah, forget it. Might as well just say u2. U2.
Favourite (non-football) sport: Other than football, which let’s be honest, is obviously going to be most men’s favourite sport, I love darts. Something about hearing Sid Waddell shout 180 and things like “its tighter than a captured salmon” really turns me on.
