Here’s a band that knows exactly what they want, and how to get it, and are fast approaching reaching that goal, and achieving just that, as they move through the music industry, ticking all the right boxes, before moving further into the public view. With a mixed bag of previous experience, Tony Goff & The Broken Colours, now grace us with their presence, wearing their hearts firmly on their sleeves, fully qualified in lessons learnt, past mistakes made, and are now stronger than ever before, with an overall passion to succeed, laying bare not only themselves with their message, but the listener also, as their observations of love and life wash over you, with a very profound delivery, giving us all something to think about.

The members of Tony Goff & The Broken Colours are fairly widespread, from Ireland to Watford in Hertfordshire, and Chinnor in Oxfordshire to High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, where they are currently based, here in the UK.
Their tour of duty, although in their local area, has also taken them into London, and afield as far as Italy and Denmark.

Formed in June 2013, members come and go, as is always the case, but now with a new line-up and the right recipe for success, the boys have a strong vision for the future, and are proudly re-launching themselves to the masses with this first single together, and that formula now consists of –

Tony Goff – Vocals/Guitar, first found his voice at 16, after forging his passion for music on guitar at 13.
His love for the older style blues with artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, to the more modern leaning from The Kooks, set him firmly on his way, fuelled by an undying admiration of front man Luke Prichard showing him the way forward.

Connor Myers – lead guitar and backing vocals, cut his teeth in the industry at the tender age of 10, crafting his style around Vulfpeck for their experimental Blues and Funk, along with artists such as Cory Wong and Tom Misch.

Tom Paley – first found his instrument of choice at 14, using his brothers bass to practise the well-known Iron Maiden track The Wicker Man over and over. Tom later played in a secondary school band, covering Muse and Vulfpeck,
sharing the same view as Connor with their ingenuity in Blues and Funk, and, with Cory Wong and Tom Misch also on his hit list.

Ashley P Saunders – Drums, first started in music learning guitar at the tender age of ten, until he later found his calling on drums at 15, taking his inspiration from the legendary Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin.

I went on to ask Tony where they would like to see themselves in five years’ time, he went on to add;

“Well, we’re all very hard working at what we do, we will keep creating music and hopefully have a couple of albums under our belts and hope to have a large following by then. If it goes ,the way we want, we would be successful artists so to speak, we create real honest music which is missing nowadays. So to help bring that back would be nice”.

So with that said, I asked Tony what they have learnt about themselves in their time in music, he told me;

“I’ve learnt I’m either crazy determined or just crazy, and I think it’s made me a more open human being, and I suppose more emotive through my writing as I’ve been told I wear my heart on my sleeve. As a band, we have learnt to be patient and to listen, working together is key, after all, you are all after the same thing at the end of the day. When I was younger,
I could easily get frustrated and angry, that just makes things worse”.

So I followed this up by asking Tony of their songwriting process, and how they create that perfect track, he replied;

“Normally I write the Lyrics and the body of the song, I then take it to the, band and work on ideas for the rest of the song and over time we settle, and then get it into the studio. It’s not always this way as band members have written songs in the past and will continue to do so”.

To close, I asked the band if there was anything else they wanted our readers to know, they finished by saying;

“Firstly, thank you for reading this far, don’t forget to check out our brand new single “Rearrange” brought to you by the award winning Bentley Records”.

So why not clear a space ready in your collection, and give Tony Goff &The Broken Colours a try for 2020.
