Chris Walkden
Chris first entered the world of Mermaid Kiss when he was introduced to the band by Russ Elliot of Musical Discoveries at a Magenta/ Sleeping Giant gig in Rotherham way back in 2003. He bought the Mermaid Kiss Album on trust and the rest is history! Over the years he has been a great supporter of the band, contributing his impressive knowledge of the classic rock scene and taking photos of the band both live and on location. Most recently he worked on the artwork for Etarlis, creating the layout for the booklet for which we are extremely grateful.
Richard Pocock
Richard has been a Mermaid Kiss supporter ever since he stumbled across us on myspace a few moons ago. His talent as a Digital artist and Flash Designer has been invaluable in creating the artwork and website for Etarlis as well as sites for many other bands and artists in the genre.Richard can be mostly found immersed in prog rock, fantasy fiction and Fencing in Surrey, England.

Pete Galer in his own words...
I'm a 30-something music fanatic and wannabe writer, that first discovered MK via their myspace site a couple of years back, and was instantly sucked into their gorgeous tapestry of sounds.
Pretty soon I
struck up a cyber friendship with Jamie, the result of which culminated in him
asking me to set up Mermaidkisses - the yahoo discussion group, as a way of
spreading the Mer-word. To be honest, the financial package and health benefits
offered were so tempting I immediately handed back my McDonalds uniform....and
the rest, as they say, is history! ;)
Russ Elliot
From the first song Russ Elliot heard played by MK ('Summer's Almost Gone' on Love Her Madly) he was intrgued to find out more. Among the first to pick up on our music, he remains one of its greatest champions to this day, writing and publishing articles relating to the band on Musical Discoveries, his site dedicated to contemporary, progressive and crossover female vocalists. It specialises in in-depth interviews with both established and emerging singers, along-side news, reviews and articles. The personal and professional support given by Russ is an invaluable part of the MK mix.
