Martin Emmons: brings a wonderfully quirky feel to the trio with clever jazzy sounds that fit seamlessly and complement the songs so well. He is also well known as lead guitar and main song writer with the band, Witchdoctor.

Sherrie Tappenden: writes the deeply personal lyrics and melodies which add a unique vocal line to complete their sound with a voice that has been likened to both Sandy Denny and Beth Gibbons.
