Thought provoking and moving rock, jazz and blues based songs. Inspired music from Swindon's Old Headlandian, Stephen G Percival, influenced by many but especially Lennon, Bowie, Ray Davies, Dylan, Floyd and Neil Young. This album relives real life situations as Steve believes that's the only way to write and translate real music with feeling. Not contrived in any way and no samples used, only real instruments played by expert musicians! Early musical influences in town well XTC whilst local bands include Oozy, BLJ and Medium Rare. Listen loud.
