Introducing Fragile

Steve Carney ~ Vocals

Performed at the original Marquee Club regularly, 1981-84, as a member of Fortune and made an appearance with the band at the Reading Festival in 1983 (on the same bill as Marillion, Black Sabbath, and Stevie Ray Vaughan). He was also successful in Europe with an outfit called Sing Sing. Carney was approached in 1983 to join Airrace (band of John Bonham's son) and in 1984 to join Pallas but rejected both offers. Co-wrote Fortune and Sing Sing material with Ben Matthews now of the rock band Thunder. Read Steve's full story...

Jon Bastable Jnr ~ Bass Guitar

Worked at length with 1980s cult band The Trudy, briefly with The Cardiacs and was a founder member of Roger Shoe, described as a cross between Frank Zappa and Gentle Giant! To find out more about him you can Visit Jon's Own Site .

Mitch Harwood ~ Percussion and Vocals

Worked with Eric Burdon and the Animals for 4 years, also with numerous blues rock artists. Mitch's story can be found here.

Tom Dawe ~ Rhythm Guitar and Vocals

So far has never featured in any "major" acts (apparently he is an inveterate "backroom boy") but has the dubious distinction of having dep'd with The Nolans! Read more about Fragile's popular guitarist here.

Max Hunt ~ Keyboards

Fragile's latest recruit is already a well-known talent in the scene of Progressive music being the driving force behind the West Country outfit Tantalus. Max also has a number of solo projects on the go. You can find out more about him here.

Robert Illes ~ Lead Guitar & Vocals

Fragile's Austro Hungarian guitarist has wide experience of playing live and a love of the music. Trained in classical and jazz styles he revels in the spotlight. There's more about Robert on his own page.
