Capote

About Me

A duo hailing from the sunny shores of Sunderland, we got together at the start of the year after I (Paul) played Joss a song called 'glory' which I'd written a few days before, when we where both at a mutual friends house. Joss loved the sound and we quickly worked on the compositions together before recording the album 'secret of life' at STUDIO ONE!!!!!!!!! (cheers Ron!) Our musical backgrounds are very different however, and with Joss leaving his post as conductor of the muldovian national orchestra to pursue this new (and some would whisper dangerous) venture, it fell to me as the until then unnamed and uncredited co-writer of Bob Dylan's back catalogue to pull meaningfull flim-flam from the ether. This is a moot point however, as it is a lie. As it stands, we are polishing our live performance of the songs which found themselves on the album, along with an increasing number of new songs which we are excited about recording ((AT STUDIO ONE!!!) - that's a tenner you owe me now mate) We hope you like these wee ditties some computer literate person has thoughtfully layed out before you, and hopefully soon we can replace them with some new and as yet un-recorded material. BYE BYE!!!
