Gallagher and Lyle, the Scottish pairing of Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle joined forces in 1959, initially as member of local Largs Band The Bluefrets. It was their love of songwriting that saw the duo develop their skill as songwriters - initially, writing original material for the band, and eventually, writing "Mr Heartbreak's Here Again" for Dean Ford and the Gaylords (later to become Marmalade).
Del Amitri are a Pop-rock guitar band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980. They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name - early Del Amitri did not want to be classified and their existence was kept secret from the rest of the school.
This is Tom Williams from Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom.
I'm a 19 year old singer song writer and artist, currently studying in London and living in Kent. I perform alone with a guitar and a harmonica, and my music is influenced by artists such as Dylan, Springsteen, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith and Pete Doherty. I've been playing and writing my own songs for about 4 years, and since leaving school am now gigging a lot more. I play a lot in local venues like The Forum and The Grey Lady Music Lounge, both in Tunbridge Wells, and am starting to do more gigs in London.
