about the band & the EP
Over The Valleys is a collection of songs that i have writen over the last six years. It is auto biographically ordered, with "Tell Me Love" being the earliest written on the EP, and "They Say" being the most recent.
I write the words and chords myself, roughly at the same time. Then the wonderful musicians come and wrap it up with their beautifully twinkling musical sounds. Apart from my original songs, we like to play traditional songs like "Matty Groves", "ill Fly Away", "The Trees" and "Rain and Snow"... Carrying them into our own style... and a few covers ranging from "Bob Dylan" to "Kylie Minogue" (strange but true)
