The Enquiry

About Me

WAYHEY!! At last 4 brand spanking new tracks for you to chew over, recorded at the marvellous G2 in Sheffield. They've not been mastered yet, but frankly we couldn't wait to get them up.....Let us know what you think!Formed in early 2006 The Enquiry consist of four 30 somethings who decided to cash in on the new wave of 'Dad Rock' bands. Influenced by Americana, folk, rock, pop, blues and alcohol this Sheffield based combo are ploughing a furrow of original material with the odd cover thrown in for good measure. Lead singer and writer Dave has been in several non-descript bands with second guitarist Greg since they were at school together and bass player Nick is a veteran of now defunct Sheffield blues band 'Hangin' onto Harry'. Little is known of drummer Andy's background, but rumours abound of 'Doncaster metal bands'!! Their mandate is to 'have a good laugh' and to just get out there and enjoy themselves and make a noise! The Enquiry owe a debt of thanks to The Bandwagon and urge all of you to sign up to their forum coz it's dead good!! The Enquiry will be looking at doing more gigs during 2007 and will be playing the new monthly Americana night (1st Sunday every month) at Under the Boardwalk in March. We hope you'll try and catch us sometime as we're a friendly bunch who'll chat with anyone who'll buy us a beer!.....Apart from guitarman Greg who doesn't drink, but is partial to xxx strong coffee and 100% dark chocolate!!! See y'all soon Amigo's!!!!!

A day in the studio

Sunday 14th of January saw us go into the studio for the first time as a band. We decamped to G2 in Sheffield, which for me as an Owls fan could have seriously affected my Chi as it's within spitting ...
