Joe Cocker, Sinead O Conner, Oleta Adams, Julian Cope, Bananarama,

"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"

He also has a wide range of musical tastes such as Rockabilly, he plays
the guitar and drums, but his main thing is Garage.

Thursday 21st July 2005 SWEETEDGE 8.00 - 9.00 pm
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.
