Coincidence brought this unlikely bunch of music makers together. An Australian lawyer, a French chauffeur, a Scottish landscape architect and a couple of studious Mancunians all managed to meet in Edinburgh in 2008. They have enjoyed airplay on both local and national radio and have supported a number of signed artists on the Edinburgh legs of their tours, as well as securing a name for themselves on the local scene.
We have recently secured a slot at Glastonbury Festival 2010 after reaching the final of the Glastonbury ETC competition. We were chosen from over 1600 entrants by a distinguished panel, then beat nine other bands in a public vote, and finally had the time of our lives playing at the live final in Pilton.
Thanks to all our voters who got us to the final! And thanks to the ETC organisers for putting on the competition and giving us this amazing opportunity.

Shallow Water sounds amazing! Take over the world soon please. I'm currently breaking into the rest of the Scottish scene so WHEN you come back on a tour, it will be amazing. hehe. Hope Glastonbury was good! Smile x
P.S I'll be down to visit sometime so get playing lots of gigs and if you need any help breaking into anywhere else in the UK, I'm sure I'll know someone's cousin's dog's sister's mum or something. hehe x
