This site primarily focuses on Tom's lifelong interests in technology, the Shadows/Hank Marvin sound, and, the music of the fifties and  sixties with instrumental arrangements of his favourite oldies.

Originally the site was a  nostalgia project with music from Eddie Mack, John Kenny, Freddy Cutland and Tom Grogan. Reunited for a charity gig in 2013 after a gap of over 40 years, the four met regularly for a number of years to jam, record for family and friends, and talk (a lot !).

Eddie's daughter Christine recorded 'Whispering Hope' with the lads and this became one of the most frequently played tracks on the site. Encouraged by this, Christine enlisted the services of long term musical pal Fran Harper to collaborate on more recordings (many of them originals) and these have proved to be extremely popular with Soundcloud listeners.
