All the bands albums have received critical acclaim, as have the bands live performances over the years.
The mainstays of the band are Dave Bainbridge, Joanne Hogg Phil Barker, Frank Van Essen and multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley. There have also been some high profile guests perform with the band on their albums over the years including King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and former Kajagoogoo bassist Nick Beggs.
