The quirkiest of British acoustic bands. Piano-based, guitar-based, eccentric instrumental arrangements. Piano, acoustic guitar, bassoon, viola, saxophones, flu
The quirkiest of British acoustic bands, straddling pop group and classical chamber ensemble. Unusual line-up including bassoon, penny-whistle, viola, kora, flute and sax as well as guitar, bass, piano and vocals. Our aim is to push the boundaries of the popular song format and to explore arranging and singing styles in a band full of multi-instrumentalists, improvisers and vocalists. If you've just arrived on this page, try listening to our songs. As you can see we are not a young handsome boy-band trying to make it big on the pop scene. Nor are we a bunch of grumpy old men that play in pubs... well, only sometimes. The age range spans three decades. We don't feature a lead singer - 3 different vocalists take different songs. We never play covers of other peoples' music - and we don't use a drumkit. Hugh Nankivell - piano, vocals, songwriting and more Graham Browning - acoustic guitar, vocals, songwriting Jim Pywell - bassoon, melodica and African instruments Michael Massey, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals James Squire - saxophones, flute, percussion
