(TeamRock Radio) A Guns N' Roses tribute band member faces a jail term after his claim for ?300,000 in compensation was exposed as fraudulent. Anthony James Dermody, 28, plays bass in Manchester-based GNR tribute act Guns Or Roses and is also a former rail worker. He styles himself on real GNR bassist Duff McKagan.

He claimed ?300,000 in compensation from Network Rail, saying he suffered disabling thumb injuries while at work. But when his claim was exposed as a fraud by a video showing him performing with Guns Or Roses, he dropped the case. Dermody, from Altrincham, now faces a charge of contempt of court.

The Manchester Evening News reports that Dermody's mother Ann Marie could also be charged after Network Rail accused her of backing up her son's claim in a sworn statement. Read more here.
