Wow! We've attracted more talent into our line-up!

2nd October 2023

Really excited to say we have another highly respected and talented veteran performer joining our ranks! None other than Colin Pattenden - founder member bassist of Manfred Mann's Earth Band! His Wikipedia biog tells us he played in MMEB from its formation in 1971. Featured on seven Earth Band albums from their debut in 1972 to The Roaring Silence in 1976. He quit MMEB in 1977. In 1978, he teamed up with former MMEB drummer Chris Slade and vocalist Peter Cox, in the short lived Terra Nova.He has also played with Mungo Jerry, The King Earl Boogie Band, The Jackie Lynton Band, and The Nashville Teens. He's never stopped performing - currently mainly with the Nashville Teens and Paul King (ex-Mungo Jerry) in his band Skeleton Crew. We hope he's going to have a great time playing with 3am!
