Brief Description
POP, JAZZ, DANCE, FUNK, LATIN, ROCK, CHILLOUT...? It's hard to categorize what music we play . Dad (Terry Flynn) brings his jazz, latin and disco influences to our sound; while my influences include funk, synthesizer music and rock, as well as having my Dad's passion for big bands. Our live music varies a lot from some of our recorded music (especially Cherie's own songs - YOU CAN HEAR HER SOLO WORK ON THE DANCE SECTION OF OVERPLAY
History/Biography
TERRY FLYNN - (KEYBOARDS / FLUTE)
In the 60's Terry played with many famous jazz musicians including: Kenny Baker, Betty Smith, Danny Moss, Joe Harriet, Don Rendle, Bill Le sage (who played with "The Dankworth Seven"), and Kathy Stobart (who was a tenor sax player in "The Ted Heath Band"). He also played keyboards, flute and vibraphones in a number of local groups. He currently plays vibraphones some Sundays in an 18 piece big band at The Blue Lagoon, Hilsea, Hampshire, England.
In the 60's and 70's Terry played in bands which had to back many famous acts, such as: Roy Castle, John Pertwee, and Tom O' Conner. Terry stood in for "The Barron Knights' " keyboard player for one evening.
Terry played piano and vibraphones in "The Centre Band" and "The Thompson Wichello Big Band". The two bands entered a national big band contest several times during the 70's and 80's. Both groups were finalists and consequently played on the radio. Terry played on Radio Luxembourg with "The Bill Cole Quartet". He also appeared on Southern Television while backing other groups.
Terry's experience is not limited to jazz. He evolved throughout the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's to accommodate each particular popular style of music.
Terry went to Bognor College of Education and in the 70's became head of music in a large junior school. He ran music courses for teachers in junior schools in the 80's and still teaches privately.
