Hailing from Sheffield, songwriter Neil McSweeney writes, sings and performs all his own material, the very same that makes up his debut album, which was recorded with 'the Gents'; an amorphous group of local musicians who dropped in on the sessions for the record. Live, the Gents include members of Sheffield bands Rumpus and Baby Long Legs, Leeds stalwarts Scaramanga Six and ihop, the remix duo responsible for re-working the Long Blondes' single 'Separated by Motorways'.
