This is mindblowing stuff..you will need a few minutes to collect yourself once these two have finished with you! " Antonio, 21, studies literature and writes profoundly lyrical songs, plays acoustic guitar and has a stunning deep, powerful voice. No room for argument there, as everyone who's heard him will agree. Ryan, 26, has a First Class Honours Degree  in Popular Music and Music Technology and is a talented, prolific songwriter, a soft melodic voice (the ideal mixer for Antonio's gravel tones) and a phenomenal multi-instrumentalist, playing electric and acoustic guitar, bass, bongoes and (according to reviewers) "breathtaking" harmonica. Their material draws on influences as wide as Counting Crows, Radiohead, Damian Rice, Sting, Dave Mathews, Paul Butterfield and John Mayer, but the result is an increasing catalogue of fresh, original, superbly crafted and performed material which defies pigeonholing. We hope you enjoy looking round the new website.IIt`s taken a long time, due to many unavoidable delays beyond our control. Not least of these was the fact that the band guinea pig, Colin, had a major stroke.Funds had to be raised to send Colin to New Guinea for swimming-with-dolphin therapy.To  all those who have sent cheques, cards, hay, and well wishes, thankyou. You will be delighted to know that Colin is now almost back to normal. (Except for the one-sided grimace)Please bear with us, there`s much more to do. Keep checking the links, as all will be completed over the next couple of weeks.Latest pics!!
