Band Members: Paul & David Mosley:
write the songs. Paul's voice is honeyed and slinky, Dave's is bluesy and gravelly. They harmonise in a special way.
Dave plays the guitar and bass and sings, Paul plays the piano, clarinet, melodica, euphonium and sings.
Colin Smith:
plays the guitar, bass, flute, lap steel and most everything else as well as singing and being the studio brains behind the Moses recording sessions.
Gav Fawcett:
plays the drums and percussion, holding back his natural talent for playing louder, faster, harder than anybody else in the world to shake his shakey eggs.
Katy Dent:
plays the violin and can improvise like nobodies business.
Harriet Davidson:
plays the Cello and has the most perfect tone we ever heard.
Sophie Traves:
Sings songs with a beautiful voice like no-one else we can think of and makes up harmonies that are beyond the mind of mortal man.
