BIOGRAPHY:What initially started off as a solo album became a real band when Sav got lonely going it alone; he missed the camaraderie of being in a band. So he and producer Josh went on a search to find the right people to make some noise.

First came John who Sav had spent loads of time with in Bellfields, Guildford at a mutual friends house; playing darts, Fifa Football (betting for hard cash) and jamming on guitars in various inebriated states… Sav knew John and his playing very well so it was a no-brainer: John was in!

Looking for the right drummer to groove with came about through Josh, who went into his local pub and started asking people if they knew of any local drummers…to which the manager replied “Got it - my brother Phil”. So a very loose audition was held at Sav’s house with Phil playing on a entry-level Digi Kit - which Phil rightly complained about - but Sav heard what he was looking for: Phil was in!

Next in was Baz, Sav’s neighbour who had already recorded bass on a couple of the album tracks - see where we’re going here? He too was a no-brainer: Baz was in!

The next step was getting all the harmonies and additional sounds Sav had on the recordings ready to be performed live. This is where Niki Robins came in on keyboard and backing vocals: the circle was complete!

They all got together just down the road at Phil’s house to see if they could work together, and that night magic was made. The room came alive and the nucleus of The Son was born.

Here comes The Son and I say…it’s alright!
