About Me

In these days of image over content and en masse international discontent the soul of man has never needed such a lift as it does now.Join us in the soul revolution. We want to take the good from the old and fill it with new spirit to make it great in the now. Just as others who had gone before us we want to inspire others who feel what we feel and see what we see which is the overall good in humanity and like the mighty Phoenix we shall dust ourselves from the ashes we find ourselves in and rise and the sun wont burn us as it did Icarus..........can I hear an AMEN!............Okay, got carried away abit! But you get the jist. PEACE and LOVE and not their opposites need apply. Theres no vacancy here for DISCOURSE and FEAR!Cheers,The Spheres!

Sounds Like: Hewy's a big lad with more soul than Otis Reddings immense shoe collection. Together with the ultimate canvas of funk-based, feel driven, rhythm of Walla on Bass and Matty on Drums and topped off with a sheen of six string magnificence provided by Hunty! If that aint enough, before you can take a breath the Saxmachine himself; Daz, blasts away the cobwebs of any doubt you may have had that this is one of the greatest sounds you are likely to hear anywhere. The legandary Bump pops the bones with his kinetic percussive magnificence while Nick soars the soul to stars with his keyboard mastery.The possibilities are endless!As are their improvised jams, which issue forth when the mood takes!All feel and no squeal!
