The Workhouse | Original Music Writing, Recording & Song Sales

From the organiser.....

28-11-2016

We had some rather nice feedback from the organiser of Highams Park Live -

"Thanks was such an amazing set - You really nailed it and it was the highlight of the night! And very much appreciated. Excellent harmonies, well-crafted songs,accomplished guitar,,,… A fantastic performance all round and very memorable set!! You should do it more on acoustic - definitely didn’t seem like your first time out playing your material on acoustics."

We have been asked to play there again in 2017, so watch out for further dates!

Welcome To The Workhouse

A brief introduction is probably in order……

Who we iz

“The Workhouse” is currently Stewart Allen and Phil Crombie with much appreciated backing vocals from Esther Burns. In addition The Workhouse enjoys input from mentor/producer Gwyn Mathias.

We are a band that has had a wheel turning, in one way or another, under this name since 1987.

What we duz

We write, record, engineer, and perform all our own original material.

CURRENT TRACKS

THE MUSIC WE MAKE

Over the years our music has had various tags attached to it; AOR, Heavy rock, Dance, Folk, Country even Electro. To be honest we are probably all of these and more. We have never adopted a set style with the songs we create. Our intention has always been to go in whatever direction the song we are writing at the time wants to lead us. The main aim is to have an end result that is honest, good music that may leave the listener with something. (Scabies / a dose ?) No, whether it be a parting emotion of happiness, anger, melancholy or even a complete hatred of what we do. We aspire to provoke something.

What we do is difficult to pigeon hole or be identified as a certain genre and that has probably worked against us commercially but, to try and market us as one thing is not what we are about.

We are not currently set up as a live group but that may change!

THE HOME BREAKER RECORDING COMPANY

Stewart and Phil record and create their original material in their own little studio “The Home Breaker Recording Company”.

We can offer services including creation of music for other bands and artists, TV, film and radio as well as negotiating the use of or possible purchase of our Workhouse songs (Current and back catalogue).
