SAUL ASHBY 

This multitalented English fellow harmonizes with the accompaniment of drummer, Chris St. Hilaire, and bassist, Kiyoshi Matsuyama. The delight in Saul’s songs stem from the intimacy of his lyrics to the resonance of his voice, which soothes like a lullaby.

It was difficult for the artist himself to place his music in a specific category, and perhaps that is because his tunes ring out several different musical flavors. The guitar playing resembles a folk sound but the drums add a hip lift, and, on the other hand, there is a hint of Elton John’s style from Tiny Dancer when Saul plays his piano chords.

GOOD TIMES

"Like The Jam meeting The Rakes down in a tube station at midnight. Indie punk with plenty of charm. Never mind the bollocks, here’s The Goodtimes! And these boys mean business!"

GAVIN THORPE

Tempered by the confusion that mid-20's males seem to haul around, Gavin is at last in a position to paint his pictures in full view of a discerning public. A young man with a guitar isn't too special a deal these days, but with a voice that can break hearts from an auditorium away, Gavin Thorpe knows that the song is the essence and the only way to not be lumped in with his wannabe counterparts.

It's the same the world over. The difference here is 'the same' ain't what it used to be. Gavin Thorpe is ready to face up to his responsibilities and take the stage, blithely ignoring the spotlight and praying to the mic. It's a subtle noise but it moves. It moves you.
