Described as a fusion of Enya, Clannad and Dido their music is something else with its own unique style and sound. It comes from the heart and soul and most importantly from the universe itself.

About the Artists
Steve Mitchell
My father was a church organist and the house was filled with the sounds of Widor's Toccata and Fugue and strangely enough The Carpenter's since as long as I can remember. Unfortunately the record was scratched and I have only recently been informed by Julie that they didn't sprinkle moondust in his hair of blue! I was inspired to take up piano at the age of six and by my teens I was playing the Toccata and Fugue on the church organ. I was less inspired to take up clarinet but did it anyway and ended up by my early twenties leaving Keele University with an honours degree in music. Since then I have found myself using music as a tool for healing and transformation, focussing on people with special needs in health and social services, education, prison services and community based projects. I have also spent many years as a professional director and musical director and have been commissioned to compose for various stage and dance productions.
I have studied Reiki and Chios (another form of energetic healing) to master and teacher level and regularly lecture and facilitate workshops on a range of esoteric subjects. I honour my gift as a psychic counsellor whilst acknowledging that I am fascinated with the point at which the magical and mystical and scientific meet.
Watching music empower people, whether by performance, encouraging others to perform or simply reaching someone locked into their own world with a single note is my inspiration.
Is the music mine or does it come from the universe? In essence we and the universe are one and music for me is the universal language which transcends everything else.

Hello, and thanks for getting this far. I am lucky enough to be brought up in a household which was open minded towards music. My dad who is older than me always had time to listen to any new album I'd bought and then, in turn, play some shit hot jazz to me. Guess that's what drew me to Steve, that and the fact that he managed to give me a 48 hr hang over from his punch. I DON'T DO HANGOVERS.
His music has a tendency to gently take you by the hand and once you know where your going to you're spun around, turned upset down, shaken and most definitely stirred. (I know this is meant to be about me but after 20 years of us being mates I'm sure that what you want to know about me will be covered in there.) Life has been behaving itself pretty much this year till a few months ago, when he called round with a rather tasty person of the female variety. And I happily admit my first impression was, thank god he's with a woman that I can talk to who hasn't within 5 mins asked if I am always this drunk, to which Steve's normal answer would be 'no, this a good day'. People ask me do I believe in magic. Listen to their fusion. Of course I F***ing Do. And then when life was pretty good it got shit hot when we met a new friend, Phil.
I played trumpet from age 7 till I was 16 you work it out. Played guitar for last couple of years. Write lyrics. I'm lucky to know and work with both of him. (Steve: I think he meant them, in a grammatical sense that is, but by this point the amount of beer and wine in his blood system may have doubled his already blurred vision .. we love him, his heart is in the right place. On the other hand his liver and kidneys would probably prefer to be somewhere else entirely)
