WE NEED A TRUMPET PLAYER!

About Me

Ever frolicked joyfully in the summer rain? Ever felt the soft caress of cherry blossom against your naked buttocks? Ever tasted dew from the back of a Norwegian mountain elk? We have, and our music is what followed.

Sheffield 6-piece jazz funk extravanganza available for children's parties, golden wedding celebrations and funky funerals.

'Things That Never Change' and 'Warm Rain' were were recorded in our living room, 'Let It Go' and 'Fire Within' were recorded at Portland Works Studio.

Feel free to send us death threats, love letters and tasteless jokes.

"The time has now come for us to cherish our green inheritance, not to pillage it — for without it, we will surely perish." - David Attenborough, The Private Life of Plants.
