East London singer-songwriters Johnny Black and Emma Scarr and musical genius Chris Jinx have embarked upon a very exciting duo adventure. Their fondness for a good old fashioned styled duet's has inspired them to write some up to date songs for our times, and their place – Walthamstow, Leytonstone, and not very much further beyond. Their distinctive voices, instrumental styles and mix of hard-hitting (his) and understated but plain-spoken (hers) writing have produced a set of songs that are musically striking and lyrically captivating. Some touch upon the challenges, agony and delights of middle-aged relationships, while others focus on a fondness for the often humdrum, but nonetheless comfortingly routine lives we end up with and the shabby but familiar places we end up in. The essence of this material is perhaps a conflict between the wish for excitement and adventure, and the desire for the well-known and everyday. The “cosy night in the Rose and Crown” and “Sunny walk by the River Lea” of “Together” as opposed to the “Adventures to be had” and the “Big old world out there,” longed for by the dissatisfied wife in “Walking Down The Line.” Beneath the hard exteriors and bravado of the characters in their songs there is sensitivity and vulnerability. Bitter experience has spawned a fear of failure and loneliness. What risks should we take? Will it be worth the possible (probable) pain? How long have we got left anyway? these, and more, it seems, are emotions still to be found at the end of the (Victoria) line, wrapped in acoustic guitar- driven, fiddle-splashed, harmony-filled, lovely London folk music!
