We are primarily a working live band and one of the busiest in the area. We enjoy every sort of gig, from private functions in swish hotels to social clubs and from sweaty rock venues to ballroom dances. Our original material reflects this and we write songs and instrumentals that are also very varied in style. All three of us play and sing and we are noted for our harmony work and our instrumental ability. We are an unusual combination - the excitement of being a new and inventive band, with the sure touch that comes only from many years of experience.

Story behind the song
This was written to honour a very special person who has gone to Heaven. It's the closing song of the album, and the rain we hear begin the first track, "Here Comes the Rain, Mama!" is heard again closing "The World Sings for You". The rain ends, the sun comes out, the sky is blue and a bird adds his own tribute... This song was played at John's own funeral on 7th June 2013.
Lyrics
There is this space inside my heart I know that tells me you have gone away, but I hope maybe we'll meet again some day. And I know for all the world there could be only one like you. Your honesty and grace were always true. When I face each day I feel empty now. The birds are crying too. The sun and moon and stars are feeling blue. While these tears are running down my face, I am feeling no disgrace. Now with you there, Heaven is surely a better place. And the whole world sings for you, remembering, through and through, all those happy days you made. And the whole world sings for you, Lord, while knowing, on and on, that our sweet memories will never fade.
