As a band, we struggled to record and produce the SUMMER SUN song and film through the Covid pandemic. We actually started work on it in April 2020 and finally completed it in December 2020 (just in time for Christmas). We had to work hard and persevere and we think that it has resulted in a wonderful sound. This can be likened to our mental health, as there are times when we need to persevere with that. This is why we have chosen SUNFLOWERS SUICIDE SUPPORT as our chosen charity to benefit from your generosity. There is also the obvious connection of SUNflowers and Summer SUN. As we pass through the deepest, darkest and shortest days of winter, we hope that this song will bring a hope, a nostalgia and a joy of the summers yet to come. Thank you for your generosity. Bill (Billdog) Davies, Matt (Matley) Allen, Brendan (Ole Yella) Conboy and Duncan (Barky) Birch |

The quartet sing story-based Americana Folk/Blues tunes with a tinge of country, ragtime and jazz.
They are a quality live act who retain their live feel and sense of fun even in studio. They are quickly becoming the pedigree hounds of the Americana/Folk circuit and festivals.
