Bill and Paul met at 17 years of age when Bill answered an ad in Melody Maker for a lead guitarist. It was love at first sight and now after too many years to mention they find themselves thousands of miles from their homeland, still writing and performing songs with the same enthusiasm and energy as ever. Unique observers of everyday life and emotions with an irreverent glare to authority.
The Hoover's latest iteration is a nod to the original Jamaican Sound System which married recorded music with live performance and was the pre-runner to Ska and Reggae. Now a three piece. Bill Sell-guitar and vocals, Paul Whiting-vocals and machine control and James Manning-bass, the music marries Ska and pop in ever evolving ways.
Refreshingly ‘NO COVERS HERE’.
