Happy 2023, personnel changes and a video!
First up, Happy New Year Genesis fans!
Some sad news to start this year off. John Comish has decided to leave the band with immediate effect. John started Mama with John Wilkinson, Andrew Prince and James Cooper and has been a vital part of our success since. If you ever saw John live you will know what he brought to the band. There is no animosity on any part and its very likely that he will work with some of the Mama musicians in the future on other projects. Thanks for everything John.
We are thrilled to announce his replacement is Andy Keegan. Andy stood in for John at the recent New Brighton show in November and is an ex member of the Genesis tribute band The Carpet Crawlers. Andy is a massive Genesis fan and has already suggested some new songs for the band to perform. We would like to welcome Andy to Mama and we are looking forward to doing some shows with him.
And just to whet your appetite, we’ve included some mobile phone footage of Andy with us performing Entangled at New Brighton.
Hope to see you at a Mama show in 2023!
Thanks for the video Stacy! Much appreciated. 🙂

Well, a bitter – sweet opening to the year! Sad news indeed to hear JC is leaving / left the band, I’ve only been following the Band since their first MAMA show at Pacific Road 2012 and John has been a fabulous member of a fabulous band. Good luck John in whatever you do, hopefully our paths will cross at some gig, somewhere. But sweet to welcome Andy Keegan to the MAMA family, looking forward to meeting you ar the next MAMA show. I’ll be there.
Love the critique of The Duke Suite, learn something every day. Good luck everybody in ALL you do. Stay healthy stay happy, see you soon.
