(Peter Cornell (Bass)

Since Dragonfly took a 25 year tea break I was in a band called De Soto Blue, an 'eighties pop-rock band for 2 years, with guitarist Mike Caswell, guitar-vocals Martin Liddard and drummer Steve Flame. More recently, I was in a work band (as a guitarist) playing rock covers. The latest venture will be to meet up with the former members of Dragonfly to play the original material as well as something new.

Nik Szymanek (Drums)

Well, since the good old Dragonfly days I've been in a selection of bands. Probably the most enjoyable was a progressive rock trio called Trilogy www.trilogy.org.uk with Paul Dennis on guitar, keyboards and vocals, and Mark Bloxsidge on bass, keyboards and vocals. Heavily influenced by Rush, one of my long-time favourite bands, we played around the country in a variety of venues for about 5 years. Our most successful outing was a British tour with fellow prog-rockers Pallas and Solstice.

The next major group I played in was the Phil Hilborne Band, a rock covers band featuring one of the UK's leading guitarists Phil Hilborne, and Andy Frost on bass. I played with them for an intense two years of gigging at pubs, clubs, trade shows etc around the UK.

Later in the 90's I ended up playing in a band "Sabotage" with both Steve Heath and Mark Bloxsidge, featuring cover material from some of the best of British rock bands of the 70's. I still play drums recreationally but don't have any major projects planned. I'm hoping to get together with the other Dragonfly members with the possibility of re-recording some of the older material (and, perhaps, something new) and maybe even a few gigs. Watch this space!
