When a group of musicians find themselves living together in an old chocolate factory, it's perhaps inevitable that they would combine their talents to create sweet music. But in this instance, the gentlemen involved appear to have notes running through their veins; living and breathing music like I've never seen.
Despite all doing their own thing in different bands it seemed a fine idea to get together and rehearse for gigs that would make them some money, at a time when creatives are having a tough time. For their first rehearsal each person chose two of their songs for the band to improvise to, et voila! They had eight extraordinary songs. Between them the instruments they play include guitar, organ, trombone, double bass, fiddle, saxophone, piano, mandolin, accordian and percussion. They're planning to get two more players to complete the group: a wizard jazz percussionist and a trumpet player. There are also plans for a barber shop quartet... Watch this space!
