BA2 4BQ local B&B: try these places at the Bed and Breakfast Directory in the area. Bath Fringe say: "One-off project from two of the region’s top acoustic/electric outfits playing the profoundly moving songs of Tim Buckley, father of Jeff. Aficionados of the local scene will know that both lead vocalists have the pipes to carry the material off, and the imaginations to do something stunning with the possibilities. There’s a chance we might squeeze in some regular repertoire from both parties too. " "Probably the first thing to strike every listener is James striking voice. The only comparison I can readily make, is to the voice of Tim Buckley, and this is something I do not suggest glibly. The vocals rise clear and pure, soaring high as they deliver the words... in places they will drop in pitch to bring emphasis to certain lines and phrases. This is a talent few singers possess and in the right hands it becomes a most effective tool. It is little wonder that legendary producer John Burns (Genesis, Jethro Tull, etc) recently exclaimed "What a voice!" I only wish I’d heard it before now." - Woven Wheat Whispers.
