[2] The duo met while singing in Cleveland Youth Choir before moving to London to allow Debbie to study classical music while Stu became involved with a progressive rock band.

In 2004 they began making their own music and released their first album, On The Side, while performing at acoustic clubs around London.

They had originally decided upon "The Ghost of Meg", but their family and friends convinced them that it sounded like a death-metal band.

The Longshot, consists of songs about work from the North East of England and their own experiences of English culture, especially sport and the textile industry.
