Their highly original sound mixes hypnotic beats, piano, guitar and flute - all played to underscore and empower the vivid poetry of Mark Gwynne Jones. The effect is a soundscaping of words more akin to new musical theatre.

The band who tuned the tension wires of the river bridge at Bakewell (before the padlocks appeared!) then played the bridge as an instrument for a BBC broadcast, will stage their first public concert since the death of drummer John ‘Beano’ Thorne in 2012. The evening pays tribute to John while showcasing new compositions that continue to draw on a vein of poetry and music described as ‘evocative, surreal and seriously entertaining’.
