About Me

The band was formed on a high Yorkshire moor top. Tony, Paddy and Sim were building dry stone walls and thought it would be a good idea and a warmer past time to form a band and play the tunes they had been inspired to write. Met up with Parry a week later and got the band started. Tony - still a waller Paddy- joiner Sim - electrician Parry- labourer. Even if you don't like the tunes we're handy to have around.To buy our debut album 'Forever and a day' please visit Townsend Records on line or order from any record shop.
