The first thing said during Arms first rehearsal was that there were to be no rules. That was not a licence for abandon or shoddiness, rather a removal of restrictions.
Arms consists of six people of five different nationalities with varying tastes and influences. None of them shall be ignored or belittled.
This is a band with an intention of gently entering your hearts and souls. In fact they will only do so with an invitation.
Devised as a concept in 2013 by Andy Potter and former Special Needs frontman Zachery Stephenson, they recruited French singer & guitarist Elian Dalmasso, Irish chanteuse Amy Fox (all three accomplished solo performers in their own right) as well as Italian lead guitarist Davide Ragazzo and Portugese drummer Nelson Costa to create the basic line-up, although that in itself is also malleable.
At any Arms gig you may see any of the members taking lead vocal duties and the songs may have been written by anyone.
