The Black Circles begin life without drummer Josh (middle)
APPLETON band The Black Circles will be beginning the new year without its long-time drummer.
Josh Winter has decided to part ways with Sam Bratley and Martin Saunders, as the blues rock band welcomes Phil Wilson to join the ranks in the studio in time for a release in February.
Frontman Sam said: "Josh has decided not to continue with us - he's an amazing drummer and we're sad to see him go."
The group also thanked fans for the support in 2014 as they anticipate another memorable year.
