Dave Cureton and Adam Gough have been good friends since they met in school when they were 12 years old.
Being 2 of a very small class of just 4 music students in their year, they worked together a great deal in composing, arranging and performing pieces for their GCSE coursework.
It was during this period that they wrote their first pieces. Their writing partnership strengthened and by the time they were 15, they were composing and performing their own music at small local venues with a band made up of their friends and relatives.
During rehearsals for these gigs in a dimly lit, damp and freezing cold lock-up on an industrial estate in Birmingham, they created some of their best early works such as "As The Mountains Open" and "The Creation"
