08.22.08THE WHEELIESThe Wheelies formed in the summer of 1994 when 4 childhood friends perhaps foolishly decided to try their hand at making music. The original line-up - Thomas Slight (lead guitar), Steven "Smally" Small (vox), Ali Wright (bass) and Craig "Moppy" Moyes (rhythm guitar, bongos, black bullets and whistling) were originally from Fife, but began recording and writing when they moved to Edinburgh after leaving school.
