Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Built around the amazingly prolific songwriting skills of Anthony J Hughes: - (Songwriter/Vocals)/Lead Guitar/Bass/Piano/Organ), this British band has already built up great interest. The songs have a familiar 'Classic' sound and the live shows are a truly electric experience. The music ranges from mellow grooves reminicent of Traffic, Allman Brothers and Pink Floyd to Power-Pop classics with a feel of Badfinger, Beatles, Cosmic rough Riders, Teenage Fanclub or even Smokie! All held together by really great songs with real hooks that leave you humming them for ages. Add to this the gravely soulfull vocals (Think Steve winwwod/ Paul weller) and the occasional blistering guitar, and you've got a band destined to be up there - for a long time!
(Gunter Schnippe; 2004)

The songs and the band are built around live music. They are at their best live.
