This acoustic duo has a mix of rock, pop and
country. Neil plays the guitar, bass drum and vocals and Laura plays the
violin and vocals. Their debut album came out in 2012 and was called ‘Timing is Everything’ and their second
album ‘For Those Who Are Left’ was
released in 2013. It’s definitely worth a listen and a download. The song ‘The Boy Who Lost His Way’ is by far my
favourite song on the album.

Questions
& Answers:
I had a little interview with Laura.
Q: If you had to describe your music in three words, what words would you use?
I had a little interview with Laura.
Q: If you had to describe your music in three words, what words would you use?
A: Unique,
Acoustic, Power
Q: What is
the best thing about being on stage, and performing for your fans?
A: The
adrenaline rush of playing on a big stage to a large crowd such as when we have
supported "The South" (former Beautiful South) is difficult to beat.
However, we have also played small venues and it feels great when people really
get involved and sing along and dance to our original material.
Q: Who would
you like to tour with in the future?
A: We'd love
to tour with Crowded House or Counting Crows since they're both similar to us
in the sense they are a bit rock, a bit acoustic, a bit indie, and a bit pop -
they appeal to a non-specific audience. It'd be a dream come true to work with
the re-formed Fleetwood Mac on their tour as they are a big influence to us.
Q: Who is
your biggest musical inspiration?
A: Neil
decided he would be a musician after listening to "No Quarter" by Led
Zeppelin when he was young. I was a big fan of Vanessa-Mae as a child, but we
both have a strong musical energy within us and we actually seem to inspire
each other now!
Q: In a year
from now, what do you think/hope that you'll be doing?
A: We've
done pretty well in gaining festival slots for summer 2014 and we're hoping to
build on that next year with bigger higher profile festivals. We really love
the atmosphere and crowds at festivals! We're also continuously writing new
material, so I have no doubt that 2015 will see us releasing another album -
watch this space!
Q: Give one
good reason why people should go out to see you live, and get your music.
A: Because
when they see a guitar and a violin set up, people tend to assume we will be
dreary or boring - but they soon realise they are mistaken!
