Artist description One forty-something and one late thirty-something who grew up listening to classic '60's and '70's Rock/Pop. We don't believe that people of our age have to be satisfied with the outpourings of Knopfler, Clapton, Collins et al. So we set out to do our own thing. Make music relevant to us and others for this time of our lives. Job? Mortgage? Kids? Got them all but we are not yet that senile to believe the output of the Record Industry for our age group begins and ends with pap!

Musical Influences Steely Dan, Crowded House, Lou Reed, XTC, Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Delius,

Artist History Met three and a half years ago, not in a ridiculously amusing manner but via an ad Phil placed to get a covers band off the ground. Richard has a long history in the local music scene and Phil is an ousider moving to the area in 1995. Richard fronted The Bewlay Brothers a kind of anarcho SimonandGarfunkelondangerousdrugs duo who haunted the clubs of London for several years and published a number of songs. Phil was a bit of an uptight professional type who always wanted to do music but the career came first. After enjoying bashing out a few covers to a handful of drunks for a case of beer in our sleepy county town we realised that we wanted to do our own stuff. Consequently Queensville Wakes and a home studio and 3 albums in the can.
