4 piece acoustic.Steph Tomlinson on vocals,Mike Giles and Nell Kneale Guitar and Neil Baggy Bagshaw on Cajon.

They cut a huge swathe on the musc genre battlefield. From the cannon fire of Rage Against The Machine to the sweet caress of Marvin Gaye,they proudly defend their right to play whatever style pricks their whims! Possessing the stubbornness of Churchill and Montgomery-like ability to read the field,they will have something for everyone.
