Alex Grayson, Garry Wonfor, Lyndon J Connah - three lead singers
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!
"The infusion of sound is unbelievable. Jazz, rock, blues and pop
are all merged together into a classic feel of timeless music. Three
men with a passion for music and the skill to back up the passion,
what more can you ask for? They've got it all. The future of music
has never been brighter than it is now and it's all thanks to bands
like the 3 Blind Mice"
