Artist History This duo place a real emphasis on their live performance and over the last couple of years have become firm favourites on the acoustic scene around London, playing regular slots at Up All Night at The Spice of Life, Acoustix at The Bedford, The Rock Garden, and West One Four club. They have also recently appeared at The Bohemia in Bristol. Following the set up of their own independent label, Fatstar Records, the first half of 2002 sees the promotion of two of their most popular tracks "Turning in a Corner" and "Run Away".
