  I feel very proud to be a member of this band. Became known as Tripoli Scratcherman. Today I have my own band called Calypso Pan-tas-tic in Australia. My band consist of Tenor pan (Invaders Style), Double Second (doubling on Saxophone), keyboard, bass guitar, trumpet, drums set, female vocalist and I also doubling on Scratcher, congas, ukulele and vocals. I have been playing all over Australia including Hamilton Island, The Gold Coast and the Southern Cross Club in Canberra where I live.

  " I'm an ape man I'm an ape ape man said I'm a ape man.
  I'm a King Kong man I'm a voodoo man said I'm an ape man"
  
  My favorite song by Tripoli

  I was the youngest member of that group, and it's always nice to see something about us from time to time.

  My Dad is an original member of Tripoli and went on tour with Hugh LeBorde. I also had some cousins who were member too. Edward Kinsale and Micheal Kernahan. I was middle named after both of them. John Sewell baptised me in L.A. So respect to Tripoli and to my Daddy Stephen 'Ointin' Kinsale. I love u.
