Hi, we are Neil and Julie Smith. We have lived in and around Mansfield all of our lives. Neil has played solo and in bands from his late teens but the duo began in 1997 when Julie decided that she wanted to sing.
We have performed at many venues since then using mainly our own material.
We have re-recorded fourteen of our old songs and three new ones for an album entitled 'The best tracks 2002 to 2008'. We sing part-time for fun but we enjoy opportunities to play longer sets at pre-booked gigs. We now use a Roland Fr-2 electronic accordion and a Godin Multiac Steel Duet for venues which have a PA and monitors (we have two of our own) while retaining the Lowden and Pigini where acoustic only is possible.

Hi guys - thanks a million for the friend request, and also for the message on my personal profile. Would be great to have you play at one of our nights...if October is the one that suits best, then I'll put you down for Oct 9th. Really looking forward to your set - our paths cross at last!!
Hiya Sorry about the confusing "Johnny Two-Sites" thing, but thanks for visiting both. It was great to meet you both, and Gemma and I loved all of the songs you did: great harmonies, proper sing along choruses, and lyrics that have pathos AND are entertaining. As a pair you seem to have a real ear(s) for a interesting melody. But I'll tell you what really stood out...you both seemed to enjoy yourself so much, and I think that is really infectious. We look forward to seeing you again. Cheers Matt (& Gemma) P.S. thanks for the CD, I have been on a 12 hour shift at work today so I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but it'll be getting an airing this weekend.
Haha! No, I have to confess, neither did I! Great to meet you though and really good to finally hear you :) I think you have a wonderfully original sound, interesting ear for a tune and harmony and some of the most fun lyrics I've heard in ages! Haha. Chicken Tikka will never be the same to me again!!!
I hope we'll see more of you at the RMC and I am gonna spend Saturday morning listening to the CD you so kindly gave me.
Hello!!! Just to say your were brilliant on Sunday! Thanks so much for coming and performing for us all...thought it was very well received by all! Hope you can come again in the future?
