Rachael Roberts and Alex Swift met whilst working at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.

It’s a lush blend of electronica combined with the organic tones of strings and clarinet and a sweet vocal narrative.
Recently Lord Skilling and my good self (Ed) were invited to take part in a green woodworking course run by Guy Mallinson and taught by Karen Hansen out in the wilds of Mangerton.

Local boy Chris Good plays Bass and vocals in the band 'Device' who are fast becoming one of the true ’must see’ bands on the hotly-contested London scene.
