Walter Ego Strip Down
22nd April 2006

Steve Courtie (right) to leave Walter Ego

Walter Ego have announced that one of their guitar players, Steve Courtie - he of the flamboyant taste in flowery shirts and leather trousers - has decided to move on to new Rock pastures and is to form a new band.

The band have decided to strip down to a three piece; drums, bass and guitar and look forward to many more fantastic gigs. The very best of luck to them.
