Incognito Biography

Source: http://incognito.org.uk/family/

Incognito does not have a recognised line-up of members; Incognito is essentially one man's dream, namely Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick.

Since the inception of Incognito in 1981, many musicians have been involved in creating the music of Incognito. Rather than focusing on individuals, equal credit is given for their contributions. This approach, to quote Bluey himself, "promotes and encourages the talents of the musicians and in turn teaches all of us humility and a sense of sharing that is not usually present in most other bands".

In putting together the credits for the "No time like the future" sleeve notes, Bluey took an unconventional approach by listing the musicians as "The Incognito Family"; a decision that initially caused confusion and is clarified on this web site by the man himself.

In keeping with this philosophy, the people who have contributed to Incognito over the years are listed below in alphabetical order and grouped by their 'primary' role in the band.
