The band was initially a duo, consisting of childhood friends Kevin ‘Kev’ Murphy on guitar and vocals, and Lucy ‘Lulu’ Parker on drums. The two were known for their distinct music and passion for storytelling through song. They quickly gained a local following with their unique style and engaging performances.
In 2014, the duo expanded into a four-piece band adding bassist Rick ‘Red’ Johnson and keyboardist Sarah ‘Saz’ Cooper.

Song Title:
“Underneath the Willow Tree”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [D] found a place to hide,
[Em] Whispered dreams and secrets, [C] with the moon as our guide.
[G] We were young, we were bold, [D] dreams painted in gold,
[Em] Shared a love story, [C] that had never been told.
(Chorus)
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [D] where we used to be,
[Em] Lies the roots of our love, [C] hidden yet free.
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [D] the stars ignite,
[Em] We’re dancing in the shadows, [C] lost in the night.
(Verse 2)
[G] Time moved like a flowing stream, [D] years started to blend,
[Em] But the willow tree remembered, [C] it was our loyal friend.
[G] Memories painted on its bark, [D] secrets in its core,
[Em] Underneath the willow tree, [C] we exist forevermore.
(Chorus)
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [D] our love story unfolds,
[Em] Dancing in its shadows, [C] stories never told.
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [D] under the starry night,
[Em] We found love’s symphony, [C] in its soft, gentle light.
