JAKE BURNS Stiff Little Fingers Jake was the first of the group to give the thumbs up for this journey into acoustic sessions. Even though he had never played an acoustic guitar to any audience before, the idea and challenge was exciting enough. The storys behind his songs are intriguing, humorous and catalogue the political times he has lived through. Those very same songs, once fast and furiously delivered, are matured, mellowed and appreciate in this new acoustic form . Alternative Ulster SHe Grew Up Harp Wasted Life J J BURNEL The Stranglers JJ had previously done a solo acoustic tour, enjoyed it and gave the thumbs up when the full line up was set. The huge loyal Stranglers following welcomed the style and diversity in JJ's choice of music at these acoustic shows, never knowing what to expect, just as the recording session for this album when a brand new song was delivered on the day, Me and You to go along with a Stranglers hit Skin Deep an old favourite from Hawkwind, Quark, Strangeness and Charm and a re-jigged album song Jelly Fish. Me and You Skin Deep Quark, Strangeness and Charm Jelly Fish BRUCE FOXTON The Jam Bruce joined up with the 2003 tour and the immediately recognisable Jam hits and melody's were thrilling the audiences. Alternating between acoustic bass and lead guitars during the live set he now provides a more driven force. His musical influence is reflected in his four tracks for this album. Two classic Jam hits, one of his songs Smithers Jones and a Ray Davis Kinks favourite in David Watts.

Her inclusion gave birth to the very obvious name 3 Men + Black. Pauline's impeccable vocals along with Selecter counterpart and musical genius Nick Welsh come as a package, providing all things Ska and reggae. They have since written and recorded Selecter Acoustic albums and feature many of their songs in the live sets. The album selection of three Selecter hit singles are joined with a Cult classic Armagideon Time. On My Radio Missing Words Armagideon Time Three Minute Hero
