Rob or “Tiny” or “Big Bad” as he has been branded, heralds from “The Midlands” of England, close to where Shakespeare was born and comic folk singer Jasper Carrot performed “Magic Roundabout” for the first time.

Educated in “Inginerin” he worked his way through the Glass industry, starting as a Glass blower and becoming the first Englishman to shoot a frozen chicken through the windshield and first seven seats of the Concorde while conducting a bird strike test. The French who owned the plan, believed that this was an act of war and despite Rob saying “Bugger me! Perhaps I needed to defrost it in the microwave! I’m very  sorry”,  was told to leave town.

For twenty five years “Big Bad” made his way around Australia playing football, making doors and windows and accumulating a family of five kids. At fifty he retired from working and turned to Men Wot Sing.

“Big Bad” has become the backbone of the baritones despite never once holding a tune all the way through any song. He is unable to read a note of music and finds it almost impossible to pay attention to Simon “waving his arms all over the place” and can’t remember when to make his growing number of solo entrances.
