Cathryn Craig is from Richmond, Virginia and has built a strong reputation as both singer and songwriter. She is no stranger to Tennessee's Nashville recording studios, working with Chet Atkins, The Righteous Brothers, Shel Silverstein and Jorma Kaukonen.

Brian Willoughby is best known for his virtuoso performances on electric and acoustic guitar, with progressive folk/rock band Strawbs. He has also played with Mary Hopkin, Joe Brown, New World, Roger Whittaker, Bridget St.John, Jim Diamond and Monty Python.

Both Cathryn and Brian have accompanied Nanci Griffith.

Their "Alice's Song" was an Aled Jones "highlight of the year" on BBC Radio 2.

Cathryn was Simon Mayo's star guest on BBC Radio 2Day, live from Nashville.

"Real World" is the current album, featuring live studio recordings of strong Craig/Willoughby compositions.

"They catch a mood that could produce goosebumps on sheet metal (The Glasgow Herald)
"traditional songs and delicately crafted originals by assured performers with formidable story-telling abilities" (Record Collector)
