Little Caesar and the Consuls

In early 1959, disappointed with the lack of success and because Robbie Robertson refused to play bass, a role for which he had recently been hired, the five-piece Consuls disbanded.

A year and a half later, Morshead and Sherratt (formerly known as Norm Parish) reunited and formed a new group called Little Caesar and The Consuls.

[3] The core of the group was pianist Morshead, guitarist Ken Pernokis, bassist Tom Wilson, drummer Gary Wright (who had replaced Wayne Connors in 1963) and saxophonist Norm Sherratt.

In later years, Norm Sherratt, Tony Crivaro, Sam Carothers (bass), Walter Taylor (keyboards) Sonny Milne (drums) and Doug Dixon (vocals and guitar) held forth at shows, adding Russ Strathdee on sax in 2013.

Currently the line-up includes Walter Taylor (keyboards), James Legere (bass), Phil Strong (drums) and Russ Strathdee (sax), with Martin Damsell on lead vocals and guitar.
