What's the band's history so far?

Band was started in 2002 by Frank and Baz. They met in a lift at the Greenhouse Studio in Manchester. Frank thought that Baz sounded like Paul Rodgers (free & bad company). They decided to form the tribute band, after several line-up changes they hired Bean from The Beans and from AC.DO. The name comes from FREE the band and STEALER the song. We're getting a
bit of a following now from the free fanclubs around the world, we've even had emails from the USA. 

Style and influences?

free & bad company mainly but we all like various other stuff as well.

Best moment so far?

W did a charity gig last year in Manchester.... open air to 2000 people ,we played the FREE set from the Isle of White in 1968

Worst/most embarrassing moment so far?

We used to change the set round every gig until we started off and all four of us played a different song ....so we always start with the same one now.

Anything else we should all know about?
