A former member of the Inner-City Jazz Workshop, Andrew is also an award winning sound engineer who recorded and co-produced two of the Nairobi Trio's CDs, Shelf Life and Live at the McDonald Winery.

Richard's enthusiasm for music extends to other artforms such as painting and acting. Musically he received critical acclaim with Neon Quaver and with his own Richard Adams Quartet had the opportunity to play with legendary flautist Paul Horn at the Wellington International Arts Festival.But it is as the focal point of the Nairobi Trio that Richard's performance truly excels.

Peter's bass playing began in big bands and musical stage shows. Peter provided the original swing rhythm section for Wentworth-Brewster and Co. and he now provides the distinctive pulse driving the Nairobi Trio's unique sound.
