Songwriters Festival 2002: Thursday 17 January - £5:
Fronted by the fabulous songwriting skills and textured vocals of brothers Danny and Julian Wilson, the band moved from Loose Records to the mighty BMG label RCA earlier in the year and had their albums 'Road Music' and 'True Love And High Adventure' re-released to even greater acclaim.

Their songs are a heartfelt patchwork of americana influences that draw equally from Memphis soul nuances as Nashville skylines, evoking artists such as Mercury Rev, The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips, Van Morrison, Phil Spector, The Band, Gram Parsons, Whiskeytown, Grandaddy and Lambchop ... the masters of head and heart music.Danny has described them as " modern psychedelic country-soul".
They achieve the elusive qualities of timelessness by way of their themes being grounded and essential whilst their music remains yearning and dreamy.
