A LITTLE BIT OF ROD
After we completed our Out Of The Blue EP, we started writing songs for a new album and by the time we’d finished, we had 30 songs in the mix!
We went into the studio and went through them with our producer and settled on 12 songs for the final cut.
Our fourth studio album was a biggy! We wanted a full band production and this meant using the talents of musicians who can play instruments we can’t. And we had the good fortune to work with some amazing talent!
The album is a fusion of Tony’s Soulful voice and melodies and a blend of the energy rawness of Faces with the sweet soul of artists like Smokey Robinson. That’s what our fans tell us anyway!
Tony often gets likened to a more soulful version of early Rod Stewart and with this on mind, we decided to write a song that would show this part of his voice off.
MAMA PLEASE is a nod to early Rod Stewart and the Faces. It conjures images of those days as a child when we played outside all day! Getting in trouble with our mums and coming in filthy, hungry and late for tea!
And that acoustic guitar solo courtesy of Ed Rome… Wow!
As with all our videos, this is homemade. We don’t apologise for that. We’re told it’s part of our charm. We’re just two very ordinary guys who have been given an opportunity to create and share music with people all over the world. But as independent artists, we fund everything ourselves and videos are EXPENSIVE, so we usually create them with a budget of £0 that’s $0 under todays exchange rate 🙂

Much Love

Uoooolala…can’t wait to hear more
ooh lala can’t wait to hear more!
Thank you Regina. We can’t wait to share more with you x
I love your cover of this song.
Hi Christine,
Well we’ll definitely take that as a compliment! We actually wrote this song.
Thank you x
Sounds great. I WANT to hear more.
Thanks Rebecca, glad you’re enjoying the music. How do you prefer to listen? We’ve Git CDs or Downloads and we’re also about to launch an app that you can by that simply downloads to your smartphone or tablet and contains all our 7 albums in one easy place to listen.
Great job! Keep that music coming. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Debra,
We’ve got more coming your way. Look out for our emails!

I have all your albums and love your music!!!!
Awesome. Tell me more about the app. I’m really enjoying your sound. A lot! From Michigan, USA
Hi Kathleen,
The app was designed because we don’t use streaming sites like Spotify as we get no return on them. We knew that some people struggled to use downloads in their phone, so we invested in a dedicated music app that has all our albums (plus a bonus unreleased album) and it downloads onto your phone in a couple of clicks. You can the. Take our music wherever you go. You do need wifi or data to use it though. You can buy it from our store, or our Platinum Patrons get it free! Here’s a couple of links:

Hi Jean,
I saw your comment the other day and posted the video on Facebook where we tell the story. We’re also sending it by email x
Great track! You get such a Faces vibe here! Having seen Rod Stewart many times at Eel Pie Island in the 60s,I can tell you I’d rather listen to you guys anytime! 👍
What an amazing thing to say Sally. It made my day x
More rod Stewart than rod Stewart! Excellent song particularly as it’s your own original

I just love you both, the music is awesome, so many favorites, it’s hard to pick just one favorite anymore. Thanks fr sharing.
Love itl
Love all the music you do and yes he does have the husky voice
wow just listened to the song mama please LOVE IT
Hi Pete n Tony,
Thanks for the tunes I really do love your sounds. Unfortunately I do not have a CD player, it only clicked once I’d ordered your cds (not even in the car) what pill pots manufacture a new car and not add a cd player. No room I suppose with this great big screen that sticks up in your face from the dashboard.
I will just have to wait and listen when I’m in my fellas car.
Wishing you both all the best in everything your doing, making people happy 😊
Your music rocks. 💋
Regards
Linda
Brilliant, clever guys. I just love your music, brilliant writing, vocals and musicians. Tony’s voice sounds to me a little bit of Rod, a little Billy Joel and a little soul.
I’m in my 70s, I’m lucky to have seen so many live bands back in the 60s.
It’s a shame, that so many venues have been lost to bands that want to play to a live audience.
Good luck to you all.
Definitely reminiscent of Rod Stewart. And… Not bad lyrics….
Just love the music you guys make ! Thank you.
Excellent, as a Rod Stewart fan(not so much now) I can see why you are likened to him. Loved the lyrics as well as the tune.
Just love to listen and chill out
Brilliant! Love your music… can’t wait to hear more!
Brilliant,loving your music, yes definitely a Rod sound alike , would love to hear you sing Maggie may and reason to believe,just think you will smash it, anyway keep doing what you’re doing guys ,I love it xx
Brilliant song choice. I’ve always been a fan of Rod Stewart but your voice is even better. The music is brilliant too
Wow I love your music so so much, you are so blessed ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Franklin
Love it! It’s definitely a Rod Stewart themed song but without that revolting looking article of a man peacocking up and down stage! No, not you Tony, I’m talking about Mr.Stewart! Lol
Your voice is fab.
Thank you for your song. Loved it 😘
Shut your eyes and could be Rod! Take that as a compliment!
Just for interest my CD has downloaded to the VLC app and is fine but don’t think it stores it so you can play across several different gadgets…but I’m sure someone will agree or correct me on that.
Love it, love it!!!
I’m so glad I got this music player! It’s a “Game Changer!”
First time I heard your voice I was hooked , I told everyone I could go to sleep listening to you your voice is fabulous
Love your music! Anxiously waiting for the CD I ordered, but I’m in California so it takes a while. I appreciate the Facebook live events and the emails.
It’s exactly how it was in my younger days lol. Tony voice is fantastic,really soulful . Love it . More please
Thanks Sheila x
Loving the music, is there any where we can see you play live xx
We are hoping to arrange some small shows. Where are you based?
I enjoyed Mama Please, get song an music. Love the voice
I came across you guys on Facebook, and I can’t get enough of your music, I love it very much, Tony’s voice is awesome and his facial expression are great.Keep up the great job.
Thelma
Thanks Thelma, and welcome x
This sing is bitter sweet for me. My brothers and myself didn’t have it easy growing up. By the time my brothers were 15 they were living with my nana. I was left at 7 years to get the beatings and then my mother remarried and l will only say things got a lot worse for me. My mother knew but chose him over me l was put into care and the rest has left me traumatised to the point where l never leave my home
Your music gets me through the darker days and also helps my epilepsy by keeping me calm.
Please don’t print this as l am embarrassed enough about everything l went through but know your music helps love to.yo both and your families keep safe and keep writing such beautiful songs xx
Ur music is very relatable especially as I was born in 1970 & probably had a similar upbringing – I’m maybe not so city but not too country & Scottish – I favour small live gigs over big concerts and like the harmonica but can’t play one – I used to go to pubs and listen to pals sing with just a guitar or a mouth organ – so there’s something quite homey about your style – since buying your cd it’s in the car and all I listen to on the way to & from work 😊
Great track I’m a big Rod fan and just love your voice
Thanks
Thanks guys great track
Love this guys!! Definitely Rod Stewart flavoured but also uniquely you. Hope your album is doing well. Xx
A big toast to Tony’s singing voice and The Condriacs. Growing up Rod Stewart was one of my favorite musicians. Success is living in the heart of life. The Condriacs is Success.
Love this song and all your others I have heard ❤️
Love this song and all of the others I have heard.
