Boxwing met over a mutual hangover whilst Duncan was convalescing with a broken nose, which he received in the wild mid west of America. Their song-writing partnership was cruelly terminated as Duncan returned, once more, to his travels.
A year passed... and then... about tea time, the song-writing began. There was just one problem. They didn't have a band.
Finally, as if by magic, the rhythm section appeared.
In a grubby porn shop in Kings Cross lay the bones of a hot club style, jazz quintet. It was here that Baz's guitar met George's double bass. Little did George know that the path to rock drumming lay ahead!
On certain days, James could be heard playing in the stock cupboard behind a huge pile of electric blue magazines. It turned out that James, a local of Welwyn garden city, was a classically trained violinist.
with a liberal dash of George's brother Massimo on guitar and half a pint of Craig on electric guitar, Boxwing were born.
Duncan's haunting vocal lines and Baz's cascading guitar arpeggios remind the listener of Neil young, Jeff Buckley and Turin Brakes, yet still in their unique style.
