Guitar
	Cosmo started working professionally in the 60s when he was just 13 years old, playing some of the great old London gigs like The Bag O' Nails, The Flamingo, Tiles, Blazes, The Speakeasy, The Marquee and the infamous Top Ten Club and The Star Club in Hamburg, Germany. This caused mayhem with his school but in those days, fortunately, truancy was not so big a deal. Moving on to establish a formidable reputation during the early to mid 70s, he toured extensively in the UK and US with The Heavy Metal Kids, and then Curtis Knight & the Squires (a former member of Jimi Hendrix' pre-Experience band). He has also worked with Frankie Miller, Andy Fraser (Free), Lionel Morton (The Four Pennies), David Jack (East Of Eden), Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy), Brian Connolly (Sweet) and the legendary Jordanaires (The King's backing group) - the list is endless! Then, for no particular reason, Cosmo left the music business. It wasn't until a phone call from the towering Peter Grant (late manager of Led Zeppelin), who had been listening to an old track that Cosmo had previously recorded (White Lies - a new version of which appears on the Raw Glory CD), that he was convinced to return, when Peter finally persuaded him to blow the dust of his old Les Paul and get back out and do what he does best.

	Drums
	When Mick Underwood walked through the school gates for the last time at the tender age of 15, he was already a professional drummer. Over the following years he has played, toured and recorded with a host of artists as diverse as The Bachelors, Gene Vincent and Paul Rodgers (Free and Bad Company). Some of the bands he was a member of include The Outlaws, The Herd (with Peter Frampton), Episode Six, Quatermass, Peace, Strapps, Gillan (with 4 Top 20 albums, 2 of which were Top 3), Quatermass II and so on and so on, as well as far too many recording sessions to remember, let alone list in their entirety.

			Vocals
			Paul Manzi found his voice and started singing at age 23 (a late starter) and 2 years later joined progressive rock band Barchetta. He gained valuable recording experience at Abbey Road Studios, and equally notable live experience including playing at the Old Marquee supporting progressive rock band Pallas. Since then Paul has kept busy doing session vocals and working in various successful cover bands/trios/duos/solo as a singer/guitarist. More recently Paul has performed lead vocals on the soundtrack of 2 rock/pop musicals: Phantasmagoria and Space Family Robinson. Paul joined Oliver Wakeman's band in mid 2004 and subsequently performed with both the band and with Oliver as an acoustic duo. Although Paul's versatility as a musician has enabled him to cross musical styles including soul, jazz, latin, pop and musical theatre, he has now come full circle back to his rock roots in joining Raw Glory.

	Bass
	After finishing several extensive UK and European tours, pounding out the powerful driving bass lines behind Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy), Ronnie has joined forces with us. Bringing Ronnie and Mick together in Raw Glory makes for a formidable team, as they are one of the most rock solid and tight rhythm sections around today.
