John and Wayne

John Dunnery and Wayne Wilkinson were friends from an early age and went through school together where they formed their first band (Out of Reach). After months of rehearsing and driving everyone around them mad, we finally played our first gig at Monroe’s bar in Workington supporting a thrash metal band. They played 3 songs and most of our schoolmates got thrown out by the police for underage drinking!

Dorie Jackson

Having grown up with a musician, it was no surprise that Dorie decided to follow in her fathers footsteps and try a career in music. Dorie started her professional singing career as a backing vocalist for Francis Dunnery. They soon formed a firm friendship and began writing together. In the interim, Francis introduced Dorie to many great musicians and writers, one of which was Chris Difford. Francis was producing Chris' first solo record I Didn't Get Where I Am and he brought Dorie in to do backing vocals. .
