AROUND YOU

How to describe this new tune? It starts off in my usual experimental musical way before breaking down and re-emerging as a hip hop/rap tune with some jazzy horns thrown in. So, it's safe to say I still have no idea what I am doing.

POCKET ROCKET

Lacking the financial resources of Musk, Branson and Bezos I was nevertheless still keen on joining the current space race. I've just managed to sneak in and launch this little Pocket Rocket before any of them. Unlucky guys. The view from here is amazing! Hope you enjoy.

WHO ARE THE ALLIES?

LUCY LARNER

Singer, song writer and arranger

A resident of Winchester, Lucy met Nev at their local street party over cake tasting (his mum thought her lemon potato cake was delicious). Lucy draws inspiration from the search for King Alfred's bones and the perfect watercress. She provides lyrical leadership, vocals and harmonies that drive our musical journey.

NEVILLE ROSE

Guitar, electronic stuff and song writer

Neville is so rock and roll he once threatened to drop his guitar in a stream (see pic below). He creates the Allies musical soundscape.

GREGORY BELL AKA JIG STA

Everything visual, vocals

Ideas, inspiration and energy. Greg is front man and lead singer for the band Out of Exile. In his downtime he provides vocals, design, video, photographic and musical support to the Allies.

JASON LEVY

Guitar, electronic wizardry, songwriting

Jase is an old school mate of Neville’s and they developed a shared understanding of music when discussing Terry Hall (still one of the most underrated UK songwriters). Ever the eccentric, there is an urban myth that Jason once attended a party with a tea cosy on his head ("it's true" Nev).
