flute textures, through the funky interplay between drummer Duncan Parsons and
bassist Jeremy Richardson to the intricacies of Nick Fletcher’s lead guitar the
group embrace pop, rock, jazz, classical, funk and all stops in-between, from

star” Steve Hackett

are musically as tight as a drum skin at present.”
