and Della Perrett's previous band was the reggae/ funk jazz fusion
Rhythm Collision while Simon Cunningham played all over the world
with Los Hombres Inglese. Della is more usually seen playing tenor
sax but she is returning now to her first instrument - her guitar.
She was originally a self taught classical guitarist but she has
written songs most of her life, having absorbed the spirit of a wide
range of influential singers. Muz and Simon are highly instrumental
in directing, moulding and developing these songs with the 'sweetness'
and 'edge' they deserve. Simon brings his unique percussive style with
his unconventional African/Indian drum kit driving the often uncommon,
shifting rhythm. Muz and Simon show impeccable dynamics and are highly
responsive to the emotional politics Sweetedge's songs express.
The band's strengths lie in its contrast and variety whilst still having
a strong identity and continuum of its own.

Great harmonies, a little reminiscent of Crosby Still & Nash; lyrics from strange dark
places with bright sunshine bursting through every crack; music from a past, or a future,
where bands think not of fashion but of borrowing from everywhere and everyone and creating
a magic all their own. Oh, and there's not much rapping in it!
