Then it only remained to write all those tunes! Which they did, over a summer, and have since crafted enough compositions to fill 7 albums and still have about 100 tunes left over. Not to mention a musical about the Dionne Quintuplets which has been produced three times in North Bay! Their songs have been commended for their wit, sophistication, and humour, and Quarrington’s jazzy guitar lends drive and sparkle to the proceedings. Adams’s deep background in theatre is always evident. Stylistically their songs are very diverse, taking in blues, pop, folk, swing, bluegrass and Latin. "
