Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed up from a couple of bands in Hastings way back in 1976-1980. Started recording in 1980 but drifted away until 1999. The internet did help out a bit there, as we started to colloborate again on composing and recording by swapping files via email!New CD "MellowD" came out Jan 2004.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We're always conscious when we play. But we don't need an audience...
