Other Facts:
Finch intends to make his own version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He feels the Peter Jackson versions were good but he could do better. All TAT[TLE] members past & present are believed to be cast, including Dai as Gimli, Rammo as Aragorn and G-Man as Gollum. There is also expected to be various celebrity cameos including Hulk Hogan as Gandalf. "You shall not pass, brother!"
Finch cites 80s songstress Tiffany as a major influence. "I loved that thing she did with the stuff." he says.
Finch got his name from the bird. His parents commented, "it was either that or Magpie."
Finch WON'T try anything once. He says, "I knows what I likes already fool."
Finch Dino was once arrested for firing a plastic bow and arrow in a public place. He blames society.
Finch purchased 'The Power of Love' compilation album from Timelife when it saw it advertised on the telly. He likes to sing along with hits such as that Foreigner one.
Outside of TAT[TLE], Finch hangs around with such celebrities as Gaz Top, the Chuckle Brothers & Cheryl Baker of 'Eggs and Baker' and Bucks"the" Fizz fame.
With the departure of Dai Jones (ex-dancer) Finch has taken the role of 'Band Fat Man' with quite some aplomb. Refusing to do anything such as look for a job or get off the sofa in more than six months. When asked to work on some new songs his instant responce was "Fuck off Kev" in a Welsh/Geordie accent. His excuse was he'd only been watching sky sports news for 8 hours and something might happen any minute. And it was better than watching the 'extreme' sports channel or Kerrang TV.
PRESS CUTTINGS
"Finch, not named after the bird, runs around the stage like a maniac possessed in his custom procusion moments. When give the mighty axe (Guitar) he will rench out sounds that seem, and logic would say arn't physicaly possible.... Tom Morrello on speed... He is the daddy, him and Kev make the best fronting combo since, well anyone really!"
