Artist description Operating out of Glasgow this group offer unique lyrical content, rich, melodic, guitar based instrumentation, characterful vocal performance and all this combined with quality songs the likes of which are too often hard to find. Previously a gigging band we are now a studio based duo. We find the present recording, as opposed to performance, based approach less social but also less hectic too. It has allowed and taught us to be strict artists who focus on that which is paramount - the um... music, yes that's it, the music.

Music Style Alternative just about sums it up - melodic, often expansive, sensitive lyrics, guitar based with extensive instrumentation

Musical Influences American Music Club, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Chris Rea, Red House Painters, Bruce Springsteen, The Proclaimers, Joni Mitchell, Sting, Beatles, Pet Shop Boys, The Divine Comedy the list goes on...

Artist History Not much to tell really...what do you want to know? Well we saw the Stones Roses at their 2nd last gig, in a tent, Glasgow Green 1990-(91?), and realised then that music is not only huge but potentially liberating too. We have been recording on 4 Track since about that time but are now knocking them out with the help of the mighty beast that is Cubase 5.

Group Members Two members in this duo - we don't want to break the mould - Mr Mark Ritchie and Mr Steve Boyd.

Instruments Guitar, Piano, Strings, Drums, Bass, Trumpet, Organ, Timpanni etc

Albums In Progress - no, not 'In Progress' - In Progress as in 'out soon'
