PAT WILD / KEYBOARDS

Pat is the newest member of the Cosmic Cowboys and has made quite an impression since joining the boys last year. Pats broken foot and pink cast was a highlight of the 2008 Tamworth festival, but apart from that he plays a mean keyboard and knows how to tickle the ivories with the best. Whether its Mozart or Jerry Lee Lewis, Pats piano skills and energetic performance make a Cosmic Cowboys gig a must see.
