About Me


"Lovely version of Wild... I like your voice, well done ... lovely" - Eddi Reader
"Hi guys.. what a lovely version of Wild Mountainside!! You have a great voice and the harmonies are fantastic... good luck in all you do and thanks for liking the tune" - John Douglas, Trashcan Sinatras

"Loved it!" - Aimee Mann
Ross and Craig have been friends for more than 15 years. They first worked together musically in the early 90s as part of the band Press Darlings with Craig on drums and Ross ..boards.
In 2003 Craig decided to teach himself acoustic guitar. Ross thought he'd stretch Craig that little bit more by forcing him to learn songs he'd always wanted to sing himself. Selfish much?
In 2008, they were joined by good friend and ex-band mate Wendy for some welcome second guitar and backing vocals.The three rehearse in Ross's living room on Friday nights. The rehearsal consists of a few hours practising followed by the consumption of pizza washed down with several bottles of white wine and a putting-the-world-to-rights discussion.
They have managed a spectacular two gigs in as many years. One for friends and family and one at a local wine bar's acoustic night. That difficult third gig is still being worked on. You can't rush these things. Watch this space!
Check out two other MySpace profiles - Ross set up and runs Eddi Reader's official MySpace site with her and Craig has his own musical project: Short Songs 4 Quick Thinkers .
