Musical director GUY CHAMBERS was recently married and is not to be led astray by fans in awe of his unstudiedly casual onstage outfits. Variously known by band and crew as 'the Lord' and 'the Captain', he's something of a musical tyrant, as he pursues a live sound that is, if possible, better than what's on the album, 'a more exciting version'. 

Backstage, you'll often find him relaxing with his personal videocam, catching priceless footage of Robbie and the band. Having suffered for his art until the age of thirty-three, he's not tight with his wad now he's cracked it big time, enjoying seriously vintage wine and not bothered if the record company are happy to treat the crew to plenty more of the same. 
Next year, he has plans for an album of his own stuff. 'It will be self-indulgent, yeah. I just want to get some things out of my system, so when I come to do the next Robbie album I'm cleansed of musical indulgences.' 

'Guy has been a really loyal companion,' says Robbie. 'He's stuck with me through thick and thin. He's an absolute genius and we gel so well. I'm blessed to have him in my life.' 




GARY NUTTALL likes catching up on his sleep between gigs. 'I do admit,' he says, 'that laziness is a problem in the usual day to day running of my life! Bed is very important to me.' But you'll never catch him using Room Service. 'I'm extremely tight,' he confesses, 'and I refuse to pay a charge for bringing food up in a lift.' He prefers a brisk walk to the local MacDonald's or Burger King, saving up his 'per diem' payments to take his wife out to nice restaurants in the Englefield Green area on his return home. 

Gary has his own small but dedicated group of fans, who admire his kindness and the fact that he bothers to stop and talk to them. They like to stand just below him with four bits of white cardboard saying G, A, R and Y. One day, he laughs, there may be enough to spell N, U, T, T, A, L, L. Not that he can see them anyway; he takes his glasses off for the gig and admits, 'the front row is a bit of a blur'. 

'The quiet man of the bunch,' says Robbie. 'He's a huge dark horse in the band. He goes away for days on end and doesn't come out of his room. He's a creature of habit and a creature of comfort. A comedic and musical genius.'
