History
The
original Partners in Crime were formed in the Eighties, featuring
Kev and Alec
along with
Rob Marston on Vocals, and Mark Bentley on Drums,
later joined by Bert Gould on Keyboards and Tracey Davies on
Backing Vocals.
A couple of years later the band changed it's name to Screen Hereos.
During
it's existence the band were an ever-present on the Birmingham
music scene, notching
up an enormous amount of gigs, developing a huge following and
supporting such well known
acts as Dr Feelgood and Ruby Turner.
*******************
After
a break of several years, Kev and Alec decided to form a covers
band.
They soon recruited Rich on Drums and Gilly Dangerous on vocals
and became the
Gilly Dangerous band.
The
GDB quickly established themselves as a quality covers band and
were regularly gigging
around the Midlands.
*******************
2007
saw Emma Skipp taking over Vocal duties and the band reverting to
the name of Partners in Crime.
The band then went from strength to strength, supplementing
their established pub circuit
with corporate gigs, parties and weddings.
2009 and
Emma moved on to pursue her solo career and three new Vocalist's
took over,
Nicki Mcnally, Anya Layton and Kat.

Several
tonnes of finely-tuned well-oiled machinery, ultra hi-tech
advanced state-of-the art fighting machine, probably the most
efficient piece of modern engineering on the planet, ready to
spring into action at a moments notice …… and a
Helicopter.
Emma
'mad-dog' Skipp and crew. RAF Odiham, Hampshire. 29th May 08
A day
perfectly summed up by Emma's now famous quote:- whilst being
shown around the airfield, surrounded by 30-odd Chinook
Helicopters, she excitedly tugs on the arm of the high ranking
officer and exclaims "ooh look, look, there's one flying
over there"!
The look on his face was priceless, "err, yes" he
replied, "they can do that".
