About Me

SUNRETURN is an electronic/acoustic music project started by Nick Marshall in 2006. The First Sunreturn live gig was at The Gong Unconvention at The Melkweg, Amsterdam, in November 2006, where Nick kicked things off in The Old Hall on Sunday, and was joined by guests Brian Abbott, Tim Hall, Fabio Golfetti, Mark Robson and Edd Brooks. Nick created the 'Patterns E.P.' at this time, it is available at gigs. In December 2006 Nick was joined by Faith Rhodes for a gig at The Voodoo Lounge in Plymouth, they played quite a few more gigs in 2007 including a support with Ozric Tentacles at Exeter Pheonix, and released 'Simulcra', a 4 track CD of them improvising live with sax, guitar and computer. Nick, Faith and drummer Tim Crowley & bass player Rich Taylor have now started a live band (Sungroove Messengers) so Sunreturn is having a bit of a rest!..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
