Originally conceived as a song-writing project between Mark Woodward and Nicholas Roy, The Weekend People started life as a guitar and piano duo. Even in the early days the pair were know for their energetic performances, relying on boot heels thumped down on the stage for rhythm. The Weekend People craft songs of warmth, melancholy and devastating poetry withtheir stunning debut album treading a line that traces an eclectic string of influences. Live, they deliver performances that can flit between a delicate tenderness and a wild fury in an instant.
