They first 'sprouted' in Annemaries home town, Amsterdam, Holland, so yes, you've guessed it, it's The Two Lips from Amsterdam. After successfully completing a lightening tour of the UK in 2002, they relocated to Devon, England. Their speciality is vocal harmony. Accompanied by guitar, keyboards and drums, The Two Lips combine their male/female vocal qualities to produce some great renditions of classic covers from Blondie, The Cure, Sixpence None The Richer, ThePogues, The Beautiful South, Crowded House, U2, Travis, Yazoo, and Toploader, to name but a few ,as well as a couple of great Irish folk classics. This versatile duo can adapt to suit the needs of any venue, large or small and are also available for special events or occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc. The Two Lips can provide a memorable night of music and an all round good vibe. |

deltaskelter Delta Skelter are a rock and blues band based on the Devon / Cornwall border.
We cover everything from mellow chilled-out standards to high-energy rockin' classics. Some of the songs are well-known, others not. But either way, don't expect to have heard them played like this before. We play songs our way, and add a few twists and surprises.
Delta Skelter's music is great for pubs and clubs, but equally suitable for functions and other events, especially where there's a dance floor... The band won't have you sitting on your chairs for long, that's for sure!
The most important thing about performing is you - the audience. It's about the band and audience having a good time together. So sing along, clap you hands and stamp your feet. After all, it's your party!
We hope you enjoying listening and watching as much as we enjoy playing and performing for you! See you at the next gig!

Mothburner, Mediaevel Storm-Folk Blues from Cornwall Mothburner are a shimmery, atmospheric, gothic creature, purveyors of deeply intimate original songs. By turns both delicate and brooding and thunderous and imposing, Mothburner's darkly fragile creations weave a web through a stark and chilly mindscape, tempered gently by the haunting, mournful, Celtic-hued sounds that encircle the bleakness of the words. A beautiful, Lo-Fi, seductively enticing nightmare.
