In late summer 2003 James Kennedy and Will Bonner (yes, there is a connection - he's my brother!) decided it would be cool to form a band. This they did, with their first drummer Matthew McGrigor. Later deciding they really needed a bassist, and with several options available, they decided to get a guitarist to do it instead, welcoming Edwards. His equipment included a bass from under Wills stairs and a shoelace strap! After a few gigs with this line up many musical differences were found, and this meant the end of Matthews career in the band. If Only then turned to the services of Will Knowlman, who was a formidable drummer and had two practices and a successful gig, before deciding it wasnt for him. With a mad rush to find a new drummer, they decided rather than getting a drummer, theyd just get a guitarist to fill in playing drums, as this made sense because drummers are too much hassle. So this meant the introduction of Chris to take up the sticks. If Only instantly got to work writing new material and practising for gigs in more venues around Gloucestershire, with best and coolest line-up so far. http://www.if-only.tk
