Sammie Ward

Hailing from Wolverhampton, Sammie began rockin’ around the midlands from a young age and found herself a regular on the local gig circuit performing solo in piano-bars, pubs and clubs. Sammie has captured crowds at festivals, weddings and nightclubs. Currently residing in Epsom, Sammie creates Vintage Glamour wherever she goes, leaving polka-dots and petticoats in her wake. When Sammie joined Flashback she halved the band's average age at a stroke.

Upright-Bass:
Rolf Entwhistle

Born at an early age, Rolf's mother recalls using an old tea-chest bass as Rolf's cradle when he was a baby. This seems to have influenced his choice of instrument in later life! He's played in bands with an eclectic mix of styles including jazz, gospel, pop and folk. A Rock'n'Roller at heart, Rolf is making a big splash with Flashback.
