The Crocker Brothers

The Crocker Brothers from Millington have been a bluegrass band for around 40 years. They comprise of Alex Somerville (bass / Gorilla Glue), John (vocals / guitar / capo / small red flannel) and David Crocker (vocals / guitar / banjo / mandolin / dobro / harmonica / easel). They have produced various albums with music covering traditional like folk songs, original compositions and arrangements of love songs. In 1971 John went off to the Cambridge Folk Festival to seek fame and fortune. After a short spell with an English folk band, he and fellow band member Steve Harley formed Cockney Rebel. John played electric violin and mandolin on the band's highly acclaimed albums: Human Menagerie and Psychomodo. David has also played with Chris Moreton, Spike Woods and Dick Embery in The Cat's Cradle String Band. As well as a short stint playing banjo with Peter Rowan, David toured with various country bands for many years. Alex plays bass and also plays jazz bass as well as guitar, fiddle and mandolin.
