The Journey I: How we met

Mike Stone and Steve Mitchell met at Keele University in the early 1980's and they soon discovered a mutual interest in music making and writing with local bands. Steve and Mike already had graded examinations under their belts in their respective instruments so with a degree in music they started to attract attention further afield with Mike's flowing lyrics augmenting Steve's very individual music.
Steve's musical direction of the European premier of Annie Warbucks led him into contact with Warner Chappels and in 1997 Steve and Mike formed Buzz'n'Bee Music to promote their composition. Writing in styles as diverse as folk, reggae, blues and traditional jazz they have been commissioned to compose for everything from Australian children's TV to a title track for a Warner Brothers film.
More recently they were asked to write music to underscore a Granada TV series in the style of Clannad. Steve and Mike had already been prompted to compile a C.D. of their music and were working on a second one for empowerment and meditation when a new vocalist arrived on the scene to record the vocal tracks. There was an instant spark between everyone and something magical was happening. They found a common interest in yoga, magic, alternative therapy and the esoteric which instantly transformed the music they were writing. The new album was tentatively named Soul Path and the group were asked to perform at Philip Gardiner's Forbidden Knowledge Conference UK ....
