The Band
Alan Jenkins
Lead Guitar
With a background in playing lead guitar for many years, Alan's role is instrumental in the success and musical progression of the group. His intricate guitar work seamlessly blends Irish, Folk, and Rock influences, providing the harmonic foundation that drives the band's high-energy performances.
Bringing his own style and input to the band's original material and adding his brilliant riffs and melodies to lift the songs we play, we couldn’t have asked for a greater talent than Alan (aka Trotter, aka AJ).
Martin Winterstein-Smith
Drummer & Vocals
Martin is truly a shining star, playing drums from a very early age and never missing a beat. His versatility allows him to seamlessly navigate the diverse genres that influence the band's music. Crowds always love seeing the band in full performance mode, and we couldn’t be happier to have such an incredible Drummer up on stage and in the studio, not only keeping and creating the beat but also providing top notch harmonies.
​
Martin is also a very accomplished producer (GibAudio) and has produced many artists including all of our own recorded material.
Rob Fitzpatrick
Mandolin & Vocals
Sharing lead vocal duties with Trevor and playing a mean mandolin. Rob's voice lends itself very well to the Irish and Folk infused music of the band and his passion for traditional music and story telling contribute significantly to the band's distinctive style.
Rob lists his influences among the likes of Steve Earle, The Waterboys, Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, Saw Doctors and Flogging Molly, along with the classics from his Irish roots, such as Christy Moore, The Fureys and The Dubliners.

Trevor Emmett
Bass & Vocals
Providing the foundational grooves that underpin Thrifty Malone's music, bassist Trevor Emmett brings a rich and resonant depth to the band's sound. Added to Trevor's amazing bass skills he also shares main singing duties with Rob. Trevor brings a vocal style that has been compared to Ian Dury and Lee Brilleaux (Dr Feelgood) and knows how to get a place rocking!
Trevor's roots are in Rock, Blues and Reggae and he was a stalwart of the London music scene for many years.
