Eus Ménage started playing guitar when he was fifteen years old. He likes to play any kind of music. From his 18th Eus has been active in numerous bands, including The Blue Tomatoes (Blues), The Blazing Aces (Rock & Roll), Honey Bop (rockabilly) and PB & The Night Train (Rhythm & Blues, Soul). Several times he went on tour with sixties icon Georgie Fame (Yeah, Yeah)! Love & Mersey is for him a reunion with his old childhood love: The Beatles.
