...And The Magical 8-Ball Band

Four music-makers thrown together from the deep reaches of Parkstone (and Wimborne), bonded by their love for music and magic...and apparently 8-balls.
Upon discovering that they all played different instruments (which was handy) and that they could actually play these instruments together as one kind of melody-producing harmonic unit, forming a band seemed like a pretty nifty idea.
All they needed now was a really cool name. Alas, no plan is perfect...
