Previous Band Members

On this page, we pay tribute to our previous band members, who contributed in their own way to who we are today.

 

Paul Harris

Paul was the No Idea bassist during 2009 as well as adding vocals.  His rendition of "Blackbird" was a popular part of the No Idea set list, and his "baby of the band" status did us no harm when playing to a younger audience.  Paul has moved on to pursue his interest in the blues.   We'll miss his exciting playing, good humour, that wondrous tattoo, his lovely wife Julia (who designed our logo and the original band website) and the irrepressible Nonna.  Best wishes mate.

 

Raelene Farrell

Raelene fattened up the No Idea sound during the latter half of 2009 with her wonderful keyboard playing while also entertaining audiences with the occasional dance routine.  We'll miss "Raels" and her 100 kph lifestyle - good luck with your next 400 ventures Raelene!

 

Mike Mitchell was with No Idea from its formation in 2006 until early 2008. Mike provided bass, guitar and vocals and helped shape the No Idea sound.  Mike is now part of a duet and we can't wait to catch their gigs once they are up and running.

 

Mike Smith played drums, guitar and provided vocals for No Idea during 2008. He has moved on to another band and No Idea wishes Mike all the best in his future endeavours.
