For many years Alan West has been thought of as having one of the finest country music voices to come out of the UK. His emotional, yet informative way of singing a story, has moved many an audience.

Steve Black's background, conversely, lies in theatre, television and radio. He has written for many top comedians and has had numerous plays and rock musicals performed all around the UK including London. He has also performed over 5,000 live gigs all over the world!

Their collaboration began about 12 years ago when they were both performing in separate duos and would occasionally “fill in” for one another. Since then the bond between them has grown deeper as the years have rolled on.

Although both still pursue their solo careers, gigging more and more together has enhanced each of their performances and writing and, more importantly, their genuine understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
