Drummer

Jack Gamble

Age: 18

Jack saw an advert searching for a drummer to join the band Acoustic Plenty. Jack soon auditioned and was given the part there and then. Jack previously drummed with The Nowhere Boys, which enabled him to display his talent for drumming to his very first audience. However, after taking a gap year from his studies in 2010 and with the Nowhere Boys on hiatus, Jack saw Acoustic Plenty as his ticket to excitement and a place to showcase his love for music.

Bassist Maria Croucher
Age: 17
Maria, maybe the youngest member of the band and the only female, however the other two would be the first to admit this little lady has the most talent. Known as a child prodigy, at the age of 7, Maria had already mastered her way around the piano and was a grade 8 by the age of 14. Maria joined Acoustic Plenty after bumping into John at an art fair, where she was showcasing her exhibition of paintings, "Art de la rue" towards the end June 2010. Maria was soon announced as the Bassist, after previous member Hayley Cooper left in May the same year.
