The Tweaky Twins are a songwriting partnership forged online between Marge McKinnis in Pennsylvania and John Close in England. They collaborate mainly via midi and text files. Marge is now making the MP3s you'll find here. John, sadly, can't sing anymore as his motor neurone disease progresses. Their aim is to write melodic pop as melodically and poppily as is probably possible (try saying that fast several times after a few beers).
Why this name?
John is always talking about "tweaking" lyrics or musical parts.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Singers and publishers would be more our area. Tell Celine Dion about us next time you see her...
Band History:
Met online via Yahoo songwriting group in September 2001.
Favorite spot?
Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic where we could meet and give each other a big hug!
Anything else...?
John passed away from motor neurone disease on May 26, 2003 (memorial day). Marge continues to
promote their work in the hopes of getting a publishing or recording deal, in honor of John.
He loved music!!!
