What is the full current lineup of the 2013 Boomtown Rats with Bob Geldof

Four of the six original members still play:

Bob Geldof on vocals and  harmonia

Pete Briqutte on bass guitar

Simon Crowe- drums

Garry Roberts -guitar

The two other members are

Alan Dunn -keyboards (member of Geldof's solo band, and fan of Johnnie Fingers, as he told me this at Ifild)

Darren Beale- guitar (Darren played with Garry and Simon when they played without Bob and Pete)

In all four of the six originals and two who are pretty well connected with the Rats as to be totally worthwhile members. So you are getting as close to the original line up as is possible unless Johnnie or Gerry wish to join up. And who can rule that out at some stage, even if for a once off gig?

I'm not sure who the sax player is, most likely some session musician. The Rats never had a permanent backing band, but they used to just bring on the sax/brass backing for a few tracks, like Rat Trap and Joey.

I think the original sax on Rat Trap was by a guy called Albie Donnelly who was from Liverpool,and was in a seventies group called Supercharge.

I've only seen Rat Trap and Mondays from Iow on Youtube. It's hard to get a good idea of the audience with only hand held cameras, rather than the multi angle panning and scanning, panoramic overview a full tv or dvd broadcast would give.
