Bang Bang Romeo were just a sparkle in someone’s spritzer until Keith Langley, ex-drummer from the Utah Saints (champions of Techno-Pop and all that is good out of the 90’s) came upon a passionate woman singing her heart out at the Doncaster Music Festival 2009. Anastasia Walker was just 16…. and just wanted to sing. Keith realised she had something special to offer, and knew a great songwriter who also stood out from the crowd. Ross Cameron had already written a thousand big songs, and played a 100 gigs singing them …all the way from the Vintage Rock Bar to the Leeds Festival. Keith knew the chemistry would be strong, and so asked them if they wanted to be pop stars….and they said it sounded like a good idea at the time!! Throw in one of Sheffield’s most enigmatic and powerful guitarists Ben Trott and you have Bang Bang Romeo……all set and ready to go.
