Dipsticks fanbase

We are a three-piece band with members hailing currently from Camden, Hackney, and Islington areas of London;

PATRICK J BEGLEY Guitars/Vocals/Pen

ANGELA IERODIACONOS Drums

MARK MCKENDRICK Bass

In the late seventies/early eighties the band started life as a four-piece DIPSTICKS but enthusiasm waned through lack of interest by management and record companies - the band never really dropped suitably into any generic saleable pocket. Although the punters always loved us; sad as it is, love never paid the rent!

The band has always been based around - and features in the main - the songs of songwriter/singer/guitarist PATRICK BEGLEY - with bassist and cohort MARK MCKENDRICK always a steadfast believer in the material. With that relationship firmly anchored the songs have been performed again in the nineties and noughties by Patrick and Mark with various drummers and using various band names.

Patrick and Mark hooked up with new drummer ANGEL IERODIACONOS in 2008. Given Angie's enthusiasm and natural sense of rhythm decided to make it a fix, and after a couple of successful well recieved perfomances resurrected THE DIPSTICKS band name.
