Bob Doughty - Bass

Bob first started playing in bands at school, mainly playing Spencer Davis, The Who, The Kinks etc. His first band was called "The Kretins" and his second band "All Night Workers" played local clubs and school functions.

In his early twenties, he stood in for the bass player in a band called "Arthur Brown Quartet" and stayed for two years, playing slushy MOR insipid dance music.

He moved to Hampshire in 1974 and joined a band called "Natural Gas" again playing MOR stuff. Another two years with them and he joined a band called "Scope", who won a local band contest and managed to hang in with them for four years. (This riveting stuff). Another stand in for country band "Elle Scott Band" ended up lasting 8 years.

He drifted into NYPL on an occasional basis and finally joined in 1998.
