Louis Austin Biog
Louis Austin launched his career at De Lane Lea Studio in the 1970s, assisting on Fleetwood Mac’s Green Manalishi and Oh Well albums. He quickly rose to chief engineer and then pursued a freelance engineering / production career, recording Queen’s first album, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Sweet (Action, Fox on The Run), Leo Sayer (Platinum) and 3 Judas Priest albums including the multi-Platinum Screaming For Vengeance.

A close co-operation with Deep Purple’s singer Ian Gillan resulted in Kingsway Recorders, a  studio in London that recorded artists such as Steve Hackett, David Coverdale, Sweet and Ian Gillan's own musical projects. Austin later built a mobile recording studio called Fleetwood Mobile, the largest and best equipped in its day and in 1988 launched the retailer Home Service, selling bespoke studio packages. He later diversified into marketing and handled the international sales & marketing for AD Systéme. In the 90’s he worked for various audio companies as a PR specialist, including spending 15 years at Genelec.

Henry, born in Haarlem the Netherlands, moves to Heerhugowaard at a young age and hears all kinds of music at home. Classic, pop, rock, jazz, gospel, easy listening. Dire Straits and Rory Gallagher, among others, are very popular with the music of his brothers. In the house there is usually somewhere a ukulele or a cheap guitar from the Wehkamp. The stringed instrument accompanies him from an early age and with some self-study he tries to play along. From 1981 the New wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) has been rolling firmly into his life. During the eighties he can be found at a lot of rock and metal concerts in his country. At the age of 15, Henry buys his first electric guitar with his father. 
Henry makes his first appearance on stage in the hard rock band Jack-A-Dandy from Heerhugowaard (late 80s / early 90s) and played at various locations in North Holland and as support act for Jewel, among others. They played their own songs but also covers of ZZ Top and Queen. During that period he also took guitar lessons from several people. With the focus on the electric guitar. Jack-A-Dandy quits after a few years and after two gigs with occasional band Fuzzle as part of Waardse Glorie, it becomes quiet on stage for Henry. From 1993 and he delves more into classical guitar and flamenco music . The love for music remains. 
After a long silence, he joined the poprockbluescoverband Flashback from Zaandam at the end of 2017 and played there for more than 2 years. Since the beginning of 2020, Henry has joined Blue Flame to focus more on blues and rock music. 
In January of 2021, inspiration and the spirit fill him with new creative ideas. With the purchase of a new desktop and, among other things, the software program EZ drummer 2, there are now possibilities to work things out at home.
