about
The Story of the Yorkshire Rats all began back in 2005, in the local watering hole known as the Counting house, a local hang out for punks, skins, rudeboys of Pontefract. Eddie, Billy (a local mate of theirs), Don and John had been talking about a band for a while, so we decided to give it a shot. Don was previously in a band known as the Faded and knew a guy called Rob who played rythem guitar. So, with that settled they decided the line up, Eddie - Drums, Don - Lead guitar, Billy - accordian/accoustic/electric guitar, John - Bass Guitar, and finally Rob - Rythem Guitar... and the plan was to all sing. However before any practice was booked Don decided to ask Bruins (he was a part time roady for the faded) to sing for the band as he knew he could sing. They booked practice and took it from there, Billy decided not to be part of the band before the first practice as he had other commitments. this was the begining of The Yorkshire Rats. This line up would continue till march 06. when a decision was taken by the band to remove Rob from Rythm Guitar. So along steped in Griff who Don had been mates with for a long time though school and what not. A week before the first album's session began, John left the band due to other personal commitments. Hobbsie then became the Rats' bassist, recording half the album with the band. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
