Ian Reid is a founding member of The Father Teds and superb multi instrumentalist. A member of The Birmingham Schools Orchestra as a youth, Ian is simply one of the finest Bass players working in the Midlands [and beyond] today. He also plays Banjo, Bouzouki, Whistles to a very high standard [as well as guitar and piano!] and provides fine Backing Vocals as well as being a very accomplished Sound Engineer! Phew!
