Joe Cocker, Sinead O Conner, Oleta Adams, Julian Cope, Bananarama,
Robbie Williams.......the list goes on and on
playing two acoustic guitars and keyboards, occasionally augmented
by drums, bass and saxophone. The sound evokes the spirit of The
Beatles and Led Zeppelin and, equally, Joni Mitchell and Steely Dan.
Little Richard and Stephen Sondheim also make an appearance.
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!

community College Mr Mead and his step dad, Steve. His manager Kev has helped him along the way getting him into the studio and to gigs and building up his website etc.
His idols in Garage are Wiley and Dizzy Rascal, Dizzy Rascal especially because of his choices of lyrics and the fact that he keeps it English. He also has a wide range of musical tastes such as Rockabilly, he plays the guitar and drums, but his main thing is Garage.

and Della Perrett's previous band was the reggae/ funk jazz fusion

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......................................................................
