Simon Kingsford: Lead Vocals + Rhythm Guitar
Simon has been playing music most of his life (from church choir, brass band and musical comedy in the 70’s to rock’n’roll and punk bands in the early 80’s to classic hits at pubs, clubs and weddings in the 90’s and beyond). In the early 2000’s he joined the ‘Rock of Ages’ band and in 2007 despite a full-time job and a young family, was performing up to three shows a week.
Then in 2011 following the retirement of the brilliant Ed Demetriou, Bakehouse Tuesday were advertising for a vocalist to enjoy a casual jam and the odd professional date. The pace sounded perfect. A few years and many gigs later and it still feels… perfect 🙂
Angelo Ciavarella: Lead Guitar
Angelo (‘Ange’) started playing guitar at the age of eleven and by 14 his band began performing at Italian social clubs. Influenced by guitar legends such as Hank Marvin, Carlos Santana and Tony Mottola, he shared a passion for music and guitar playing with friends that he remains close to today.
At the age of 40 with his family by his side, he and some friends formed a band called the Long Gone Daddys. The band played for eight years with Ange as lead guitarist until family commitments forced him to retire. The Long Gone Daddys still perform today with the son of a friend, his proud replacement.
Following a change in life and a four year break, he decided to blow the cobwebs off his music gear and join Bakehouse Tuesday. He’s now back to what he loves doing most… “playing in a rock band… Yeah Baby!”.
Aldo Mazzoni: Bass Guitar
Although Aldo didn’t start playing guitar until he was 18, he’s been hooked ever since.
He likes to play a thumping, rocky bass style that taps into the beat and this shows in his playing style and in the way he jumps, dances and moves while he’s playing.
Although he’s no Travolta, he sure does have a ball on stage.
Aldo is an IT professional when he’s filling in the hours between the times he loves most – Jamming and gigs.
Craig Dowling:
Craig Dowling has been behind a drum kit since the early 1980s, inspired from the outset by some of the most iconic drummers in music history, including John Bonham, Buddy Rich, Neil Peart, Gene Krupa, Ringo Starr, and Keith Moon. Their power, precision, and personality helped shape Craig’s lifelong passion for rhythm.
While he appreciates the artistry and technical brilliance of these legends, Craig’s own philosophy behind the kit is simple: serve the song. His primary focus is laying down a solid groove that brings great classic songs to life and gets people moving toward the dance floor. For him, great drumming isn’t just about fills and flair, it’s about feel, timing, and creating the pulse that lifts the entire band.
Over the decades Craig has played in numerous bands, performing a wide range of classic rock and crowd-pleasing favourites. Each project has added another chapter to a long musical journey built on camaraderie, live performance, and the shared energy between band and audience.
For Craig, drumming isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifelong rhythm. And he plans to keep playing until the internal metronome finally reaches its last tick.
