Simon Carter
Simon was born in Plymouth, but escaped the West Country for the bright lights of London at the age of 18. A penniless life in jazz beckoned, until he was corrupted by the world of pop music and money. Simon played with Jamiroquai between 1999 and 2002, and has since gone on to perform with the likes of Craig David, Anastacia, Leo Sayer, Deepest Blue, Atomic Kitten, The Divine Comedy, Corrine Bailey Rae and 10CC. Simon first met Nik on a Here and Now tour in 2004, where other artists included Kim Wilde, Midge Ure and Belinda Carlise. Over a few games of Backgammon and several beers in various hotels around the country, numbers were exchanged with a promise of a call if Nik ever put his own band together again. That call took a while to come but all is forgiven now! Nik says, "Simon got the gig because he told me he could simultaneously juggle with his left hand, construct a scale model of the Titanic out of matchsticks with his right, shave a cat with his left foot and operate a turnip loom with his right. These are the skills required to play keyboards in my band. Unfortunately, he was lying. His juggling is rubbish and the model of the Titanic was missing the aft bilge pump oil filters. He can however play a mean Joanna". More on Simon:- Simon's MySpace |

In 1993 he was voted "Best New Musician" by the British Music Association. Nik says, "Paul is the sole surviving member of the 1998 - 2001 band.
