MySpace a place for friends

Zoë and Mike have been writing and performing together in middle England since 1995. Making the move from members of indie bands to an acoustic duo in 2000 provided the opportunity to indulge a wider range of personal tastes and styles.

The move to an acoustic line-up has led to a more stripped back, intimate sound, finding favour with Birmingham’s folk-rock contingent as well as younger fans who appreciate a good tune when they hear it. Sparse acoustic guitar interplays with Mike’s rhythmic bass lines, allowing space for Zoë to deliver the lyrical, melodic vocals that complete the Contact sound.

As prolific songwriters, Contact have recorded a number of self-financed projects, which they currently market privately. The studio material reflects aspects of the live, acoustic sound, alongside more expansive arrangements that transform live favourites into something new.

'Sing Me To Sleep' at the Old Moseley Arms, Birmingham

"An acoustic duo with a strong collection of songs built around fragile melodies and hushed vocals, with some classic pop sensibilities thrown in for good measure." NME (30/04/05)

"Soft, breathy vocals as light as a feather and delicate ‘Going To California’ Zepplin-esque guitar work. This is lovely, mellow stuff." Tom Edwards, BBC Birmingham

"Featuring solitary acoustic guitar and bass their performance has echoes of classic folk, particularly in the ethereal voice of singer Zoë. A mature song writing talent." Uncarved Blocks
