<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><strong>It was in Eskilstuna Sweden when the idea of the band was born when Mika asked us in October 1985 if we (<span style="font-size: medium;">Jyrki</span>, Markku, Mika, Petri) could form a new band. At that time Mika and Petri did have a Rockabilly trio which they quit in order to start this new band, "Wildfire Willie and The Wild Youth"<br />So in the first week of January 1986 Wildfire Willie had it’s first rehearsal.<br /> This new band, Wildfire Willie, took over all of the Wild Youths gigs they already had booked, so the first gigs were under the name Wildfire Willie and The Wild Youth.</strong></span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><strong> </strong></span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><strong>Mika came up with the name "Wildfire Willie" and later Markku came up with the name "The Ramblers". ( first idea for band name was Rumblers)</strong></span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><strong><br /></strong></span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><strong>Petri left the band In the summer 1986 and only concentrated on his work as an electrician, so for a while Mika did all the singing before it was decided to search for new singer to replace Petri so Jan Swampson aka Svensson (from Jan Swampson and his Thermosar) joined The Ramblers in late 1986, after Mika quit the band in the early 90's, The Ramblers went through a succession of bass players but since 2003 Carl Viktor has been playing the bass.<br />Wildfire Willie has now at present only its two remaining original members, Jyrki (Lead Guitar) and Markku (Drums).</strong></span><br />
