Members:
The British Walkers 2010: Bobbie Howard (often spelled Bobby Howard) - Lead Vocals, Harmonica, Guitar; Steve Lacey - Drums; Billy Hancock - Bass, Vocals; and Dave "Gabby" Gabaldon - Lead Guitar, Vocals.

The original members of The British Walkers were: Bobbie Howard - Lead Vocals, Guitar; Roy Buchanan - Lead Guitar; Junior Gill - Bass; and Mike Kennedy - Drums.

Except for Bobbie Howard, membership in The British Walkers was a revolving door. Members included: Geoff Richardson - Lead Guitar; Paul Downing - Lead Guitar; John Hall - Guitar, Vocals; Ted Speleos - Lead Guitar; Jimmy Carter - Lead Guitar; Ronnie Welborne - Bass; Jack Brooks - Bass; Ray Lassiter - Drums; Gary Kingery - Drums; Steve Lacey - Drums; James Dyer - Drums; and Mike Zack - Drums. Jack Brooks and Steve Lacey ended up being with the band the longest and were there until the end of The British Walkers recording career.

Vocalists Tom and Charlie Willett were never actually members of The British Walkers, but their soulful lead and backing vocals can be found all over The British Walkers' swan song single "Shake". Charlie sang lead on the single, while Tom and members of The Chartbusters sang the energetic backing vocals. Tom and Charlie had been in the local D.C. band The Newports and their vocals were substituted for Bobbie Howard's when Bobbie quit the band in a dispute with management.
