the band
MEGHANN PATTEN (vocals)
Singing before she could talk, Megs has always had a love of singing and performing. Her childhood/teen years were spent competing in singing and dancing eisteddfods and being involved in musical theatre and as an adult she continued performing in cabaret, musical theatre and bands. With her powerful vocal and cheeky but tough stage persona, her main goal is to always entertain and leave the punters wanting more!
PAUL JOLLEY (drums/backing vocals)
For over 40 years Paul has been performing in pubs, clubs and festivals up and down Australia’s Eastern Seaboard with acts such as The A Team, The Party Pigs, Mad Rhino, Sweet Ophelia, The Rollin Rockers, Andy & The Cruisers, The Australian Creedence Show, Crossroads – The Eric Clapton Show and many, many more. Paul has also performed live on FM Radio and both local and national television.

He also played a number of gigs in Shannon Noll's backing band, supported the Choirboys as well as jamming with AC/DC!
PETE HOY (bass/vocals)
Playing bass in his high school band The Studmuffins, Pete always knew the stage is where it’s at. He spent 15 years covering a variety of genres with bands including Key of Rock, Dust ‘n’ Ales – The Country Rock Band, Rollin’ Dice and even a few years in a KISS Tribute band as The Starchild. After fronting the duo Men of Hoy for years, opening for Mental As Anything & Spy vs Spy, Pete’s back home on bass; It’s All About The Bass!
MURRAY PAYNE (keys/vocals)

In 2014 he joined the Australian Crawl cover show "Crawl File", before returning to Touchwood rock in 2020. With decades of experience plus his energy & sense of fun, Murray is all about great music, great shows and having a bloody good time along the way.
LITTLE WICKED
Megs and Paul, who had been playing together in Sweet Ophelia for a few years, created Little Wicked with the intent to make their gigs not just entertaining, but also an unforgettable conceptual experience. They envisioned Little Wicked as more than just a band—it’s a dynamic fusion of powerful vocals, engaging stage presence, energetic and experienced musicians, audience participation and a set list designed to keep audiences on their feet. With the incredible talents of Tommy, Pete and Murray completing the line up, their chemistry honed over years of performing together, brings an infectious energy to every show.
Little Wicked blends genres seamlessly, delivering everything from ballads to high-energy rock anthems. Their passion for music and connection with their audience is at the heart of every performance, making each gig feel like a unique event.
Whether it’s an intimate venue, a packed function, pub or festival stage, Little Wicked’s goal is simple: to leave the crowd buzzing long after the final note.
