The Good Neighbours
Posted by John Siddle on April 4, 2008 3:42 PM
The Good Neighbours formed in January of this year, and were created from nothing more than a jamming session between friends on a cold wet night in Banks.
Unaware of each others' outstanding talent, Jake Pilkington and John Markey have been next door neighbours for the past 14 years and never thought of creating music together until earlier this year.
To listen to their sound, as I’m sure you will agree, you will come to the conclusion that this songwriting duo had been honing their talent for the last ten years.
