Butler/Colbourn are composers and performers, with a catalogue of top class songs, instrumentals, film music and Musical Theatre. Their two musicals Tutankhamun, and The Fire of London. Fire is in much demand in regional theatres, and is being premiered at one of Wale's leading theatres, Theatre Mwldan.

As performers, Perryn and Gaynor lead Amazonne who now have a big fan base all over the UK and Europe, with followers in Russia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, America, Japan -----------------------  everywhere now!!!  Their concerts and festival appearances are all in great demand.                                 
 
Perryn Butler has been a singer and guitarist for all her working life. Her work has taken her all over the British Isles, playing with bands as well as being a solo artist. She concentrated on playing traditional folk songs in the folk clubs and venues, where she sang and played guitar on her own.  Her voice is very rich, and she is able to sing in any style with enormous conviction.  
 
 Gaynor Colbourn is a classically trained pianist, and the composer of the bulk of the music alongside Perryn for Amazonne.  She is the producer and sound engineer for all the music which they both write and the whole band perform. Gaynor qualified as a Classical Pianist, 
whose classical training blended well with the rest of the band, and she learned a lot about performance as well as composing and playing. Fusion, who were a five piece band with two drummers toured extensively, playing huge venues to audiences of many thousands, and alongside very well known bands of the time. The music they played was not that dissimilar to the Symphonic Metal of Opeth. She enjoyed several years of this, before becoming a session musician and composer.
 
Gaynor has concentrated on being a composer for many years now, having composed theme music for the BBC, Ronnie Corbett's 'Sorry' back in 1981, being one of the most well known pieces of theme music. Looking at You Tube, it is apparent that this theme tune has Cult Status! She also composed  the Sir Benfro Symphony, which had BBC radio coverage of the live concert, and various other music for Film and TV. Working as Butler-Colbourn, she and Perryn have written more than 60 songs together, and the Musical Tutankhamun, as well as another musical in progress. She is somewhat of a Keyboard Wizard, and has a very well respected reputation as a superb musician.
 
Currently, as well as working with Amazonne, Gaynor is Lecturing around the UK, running Clinics, and creating competition music for Dressage to Music.
 
Tom Bryant  on drums and percussion is integrated into the band, to give a fuller and more contemporary sound. Tom has added a new element to the band, allowing Amazonne to perform a real cross-over of Rock, Folk and with the Symphonic Rock slant. A very meaty sound and melodic!. Tom, as an all rounder coming from a jazz , metal and traditional drumming background, has a style unique to him, with a large kit integrating Doumbak, Djembe, Bongos, 3 snares, gong and Yamaha Wavedrums. His  percussion technique brings in an ethnic over pattern.
 
Mike Forwood. Mike is a terrifically talented bass guitarist, with a wealth of experience playing in many different bands over the years. He is also an experienced sound and outside broadcast engineer.

Matt Collins on guitar,is new to the Band, having replaced Franco who left due to ill health. 

Holly Robinson. Fiddle and Tom Phillips Octave Fiddle. Holly is a classically performed violinist who has fitted in brilliantly to the musical work and also Amazonne.
