Kayt Smith (nee Easter)
Kayt has recently returned to lead Drollz with her magnificent voice and prolific songwriting. Despite having little musical background, Kayt has pursued her passion for singing since childhood. An important early influence was Celine Dion, and memories of her lyric narratives clearly influence Kayt's songwriting. As a teenager, she was driven to polish her singing craft in musical theatre. She has an amazing voice, and is able to mimic the pitch, phrasing and even accents many of the great female vocalists of the past 20 years. As one of the main songwriters for Tayz & the Drolls, she discovered a talent for writing heart-felt poetic lyrics and dramatic melodies. joallenphotography.co.uk
Chris Davy
Chris (Seedy): Classically trained on the ‘cello and orchestral percussion (which translated into swing band drumming and bass guitar), Chris found himself behind a keyboard almost by mistake. At some point, somebody also made the mistake of allowing him a microphone and now he won’t stop singing! As one of the musical theorists of the band, he has an amazing talent for accompanying any new tune on keys, bass guitar or cello, in addition to singing harmonies at almost any pitch.
Tim Woolley
Tim Woolley is a dynamic and instinctive guitarist whose playing blends precision, power and expressive flair. With roots in rock and metal, his lead work is marked by soaring, lyrical solos and a strong sense of musical storytelling, while his rhythm playing provides drive and clarity. Equally comfortable crafting intricate textures or delivering high-energy performances, Tim brings both technical skill and emotional intensity to his music. As part of Drollz, his guitar work adds a striking new dimension—injecting momentum, contrast and uplift into the band’s evolving sound. joallenphotography.co.uk
Jadie Carey
Jadie Carey is a versatile multi-instrumentalist whose musical voice bridges classical discipline and contemporary edge. Equally at home on electric bass, upright bass and cello, she brings rich, textural depth shaped by orchestral training and live jazz experience. Her playing is both intuitive and precise—underpinning songs with warmth or lifting them with melodic flair. As a member of Drollz, Jadie adds a distinctive tonal palette, moving effortlessly between atmosphere and drive. joallenphotography.co.uk
