About Me



Steph and Darragh were roommates with an inclination for playing boppy pop/folk tunes. Derek has recently joined on keys, to give the song just-that-little-bit extra! We're hoping to record our demo in the next two months, and begin gig-trawling through the backstreets of BrisVegas. Darragh is hoping for lots of groupies with great geographical knowledge, but don't tell Steph that!
