Bonus Photo of the Day 28th May 2026.

3 people on a stage, performing as part of a band. On the left is a man with floppy dark hair, wearing a brown t-shirt with black piping on the collar and cuffs, and a blue pair of jeans, playing a red bass guitar attached to a tan strap slung over his shoulder. In the middle is a woman with red hair cut in a bob, wearing a black vest top and dark blue trousers, singing into a microphone on a stand, holding on to the mic with her left hand, while her right hand is down by her waist. On the right is a man with wavy brown hair, wearing a blue t-shirt with long white sleeves, and playing a red electric guitar attached to a black strap over his left shoulder, and singing into a microphone on a stand. A black amplifier is standing on a red crate behind the person on the right. Black walls and ceiling fill the rest of the frame, with black and yellow hazard tape marking a low ceiling.
Sandbox on stage at The Roadhouse, Manchester for their first ever gig, 21st November 2003
From left to right Kev – bass, Lennie Butler – vocals, acoustic guitar, Paul Allen – guitar, vocals.
**Spoiler warning**
Don’t get used to Kev – he turned up for the next rehearsal, but then was never seen again.
He never actually quit, but they managed to find someone to play their next gig at 2 days notice.
