.I'm Paul Harrison - I'm 14 years old and I live in Bolton, UK. I've been working on some tunes using Acid Pro with my stepdad, Tim B, who also makes music under the name "mistrust". The tunes on here are my first attempt at music-making using my own midi clips and a few samples. Tim B helped out on the production/mastering side of things, but the tunes are mine. Let me know what you think.

Fiona Clayton

Coming from a small town in the middle of the Lake District, surrounded by mountains and numerous amounts of sheep, you wouldn’t expect to find that music was one of the most popular forms of getting-away-from-the-world. But from an early age, Fiona has written and played music for audiences ranging from just her parents - to a crowd of over 1000 people. With her mum being a music teacher and her dad playing tapes and records of typical 80’s rock and roll it was hard to get away from it.
