Spike Edney

In addition to being Queen's keyboard player since 1984, for all live performances, British multi-instrumentalist Spike Edney has toured, recorded and performed with the living and late legends of our time.

  His career began in the mid 70's as keyboard player and musical director for Soul & Motown legends Ben E King and Edwin Starr.   

In the 80's, after tours with Bob Geldof's Boomtown Rats, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Thomas Dolby, Haircut 100 and Duran Duran, Spike commenced his 23 year career with Queen, joining them for two world tours, ("The Works" and "Magic"), as well as classic performances at "Live Aid", "Rock in Rio", "Live at Wembley", "Knebworth" and "Hyde Park".  Since then Spike has continued to perform and record with both Brian May and Roger Taylor on their solo projects.  In 1987 Spike founded the band The Cross with Roger Taylor, co-producing 3 albums "Shove It", "Mad Bad and Dangerous To Know" and "Blue Rock" and in 1992 Spike accompanied Brian May and The Brian May Band for the "Back to the Light" tour (the first of two world tours), followed by the "Another World" tour in 1997.  Then 2005/2006 saw Spike resume his position on the Queen stage for their international tour with a new line-up, featuring Paul Rodgers on vocals.  Spike's other work in his capacity as Musical Director includes the  "Freddie Mercury Memorial Concert".  

The 90's also saw the launch of Spike's All-Star Band a.k.a. The SAS Band.  Since their debut in 1994, Spike and his band have made television appearances and performed at select private, public and major corporate events around the world. Several of those internationally televised concerts, with Spike as MD and his band backing an array of stars, include the finale of the 2000 & 2001 Prince's Trust "Party in the Park" concerts and the 2003/2005 Nelson Mandela "46664" concert for aids.  

The artists and musicians who have performed with The SAS Band to date are part of an ever growing collection of some of the world's greatest Rock and Pop performers and include such names as Roy Wood, Chaka Khan, Lionel Richie, Roger Taylor, Brian May, Gary Brooker, Paul Young, Marti Pellow, Paul Rodgers, Madeline Bell, Tony Hadley, Bob Geldof, Lulu, Suggs, Midge Ure, Errol Brown, Graham Gouldman, Kiki Dee, Leo Sayer and Fish, to name a few.

Danny Miranda

Danny Miranda cut his musical teeth in the burgeoning Long Island club scene of the 1980s. In a place known for brutally unforgiving audiences, Danny immediately distinguished himself as a cat with some serious chops - a player who could lay you out with some of the heaviest funk going, and without missing a beat, drop into a slick jazz groove or a thundering rock bass line. Simply stated, Danny made his name as a guy who could play it all - with ease.

Coming up through the ranks in New York, Danny played with some of best and brightest the area had to offer. The list of people he's played with reads like a Who's Who of the New York music set. Early gigs saw him playing with Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow, Black Sabbath), Al Pitrelli (Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), and John Miceli (Meat Loaf), as well as a host of others. Paying his dues on the gritty, down and dirty Long Island club circuit, Danny crafted a stage presence and style uniquely his own - and the word got out. This was a guy you had to see live, as he prowled the stage, laying down some of the most wicked grooves ever. 1995 would be a turning point in Danny's career, as he got the call from Eric Bloom and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser offering him the gig with the amazing Blue Öyster Cult. As a child of the 70s, and a Long Island native, playing bass in one of the biggest acts to ever come out of New York was almost too good to be true. Danny played continuously with Blue Öyster Cult from late 1995 until September, 2004, cutting two records (Heaven Forbid, 1998; Curse Of The Hidden Mirror, 2001), and putting out a smoking live DVD (A Long Day's Night) from their 2002 Summer Solstice show in Chicago. Touring with BÖC, playing 100-125 nights each and every year, put Danny in front of thousands of soon-to-be-converted fans. Danny's run with BÖC cranked on until late in 2004, when things would suddenly change.

September, 2004. . . Danny's cell phone rings, and it's John Miceli, asking if Danny would be interested in auditioning for the bass chair in the Las Vegas production of "We Will Rock You." Several phone calls, a few airplane trips between Long Island and Las Vegas, meetings with Brian May and Roger Taylor, and in a matter of days, Danny relocated to Las Vegas to be reunited with John and get to work in WWRY. Things were going well for Danny, and then. . . "The" phone call came in January, 2005. In one of those moments, where you just have to pinch yourself to be certain you're not dreaming, Danny got a call from Brian May asking if Danny would like to play bass on the upcoming Queen + Paul Rodgers tour. Another round of phone calls, a quick relocation to the UK, and Danny is now living the dream of his youth - playing bass with Brian May, Roger Taylor, and Paul Rodgers. Stay tuned for further developments, including a solo album that's still in the works. Seems things are turning out well for this young guy from the Island. . .
