Sheldon
were formed in 1999.
Seven years saw
the band
unsuccessfully try to break the Liverpool gig 'scene', some hit and
miss touring around the country, a regrettable involvement with a dodgy
label and a succession of bass players come and go.
In 2006,
after witnessing the far greater interest shown in live music in the
area, Andy relocated to Chester with a renewed hope to make a name for
the band.
Playing acoustic
slots at Open Mic. night each Tuesday
over the course of a few months gained more interest in the songs than
years of hard slog in the so-called 'Capital Of Culture'. Here, Andy
met Monkey Dave. Following the unfortunate departure of then bassist
Gary Ellis, Dave agreed to join Sheldon.
May 7th
2009 saw
the release of Sheldon's debut album 'Intravaganza'.

At the end of 2009, Richard Dodd, drummer and co-founder of Sheldon
sadly had to move on. Lee 'Deathwish' Roberts stepped up to play drums
and after one hasty practice played his first gig with the band on 3rd
January 2010.
