They say that, “some things are meant to be”! Nothing could be truer about the
coming together of two extraordinary talents that are Alan West and Steve Black.
With over 50 years of professional performing between them, they discovered
that their unique combination puts a refreshing slant on Country music.
Alan West, for many years, has been regarded as having one of the greatest
voices to come out of the UK. His emotional, yet informative way of singing a
story, has moved many an audience all over the world, and it isn’t by accident
that Alan’s CD’s “Songs from a Neophyte”, “The Way of The World” and “the
way it is” feature a host of great musicians of the genre.
Alan’s collaboration with Steve Black began about 5 years ago when they were
both performing in separate duo’s and would occasionally “fill in” for one another.
Alan instantly acknowledged the potential in Steve’s songwriting ability and soon
included some of his songs in his live set.
Steve’s background lies in theatre, television and radio although he has
performed over 5000 live gigs all over the world. He has written for many top
comedians and has had numerous plays and Rock musicals performed all
around the UK including London. Steve’s last CD received a lot of airplay and his
latest offering “All the best” is set to follow the same pattern. He is becoming one
of the UK’s leading songwriters and his style fits perfectly with Alan’s unique way
of singing and the combination is very potent.
Recently both Steve and Alan found themselves pursuing solo careers and
decided it would be “ no bad thing” to get together and “see what happens”. And
by adding to this the incredible acoustic guitar talent that is Adam Sweet, what
happens is this. An exciting mixture of songs, both covers and original, a great
rapport on stage between themselves and the audience and live performances
that are honest, instant, inventive, adaptive and fun!
