PILLOW TALK are the North of England's premier Easy Listening Combo, who have also cracked the Eastern European fanbase.
Formed a few years from a core of Cheeseboard and Harmless, the 'Talk were originally called "Hard Leg", a jazz duo offering laid back, often humourous takes on original and chart material.
Pretty soon the band had expanded to include Retch and Beard, the classic line up, who performed at Poetry Evenings, playing background music and improvised accompaniements to Beat Poets such as Adrian Spendlowe.
Since then, it's all GONE MENTAL, frankly.
