“In A Word: Class!” – Beat Magazine review Western Sun

Check out  GRAHAM BLACKLEY’s review  for Beat Magazine.  Naylor and Rich’s innate and extremely natural ability to weave rich melody that engages and enraptures even the most unsuspecting listener ensures that such spellbinding performances stick in the mind. Rich has traversed many interesting musical pathways including joyfully glamorous garage-fuelled hard rock (Girl Monstar) and admirably authentic […]
