About Me


The Story so Far..............

"London can seem like an intimidating place, especially when you come from a small Welsh town. Maybe that's why Al Lewis and Sarah Howells make such a good team.
Through either fate or coincidence, Al (from Abersoch) and Sarah (Milford Haven) met on the tube one night, traveling home from separate acoustic shows. Having both only recently moved to London, they decided to keep in touch. Jam sessions turned to writing sessions which resulted in a number of London shows together and the Skin and Bones EP due for release 15/06/09.

With a sound that echoes the classic songwriting of the 70's (Tim Buckley, James Taylor), but delivered in a modern style (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stephens, Cat Power), the big city is already holding much promise for the girl and boy from Wales."
