The story so far-

Sue Stevens and Nick Evans come from remarkably similar artistic backgrounds. Both began playing and singing on the folk scene (in Nick's case this coincided with his rock band days), before drifting into the dark world of "pubs and clubs", where they gained several years worth of invaluable experience before the toughest audiences, then returned to folk venues around the millennium.

Sue together with Pat Hall founded the Lighthouse Folk Club in 2001, and Nick arrived as a performer there within the year. Casual musical collaborations at the club intensified culminating in their first serious "Tour" in autumn 2007.

A feature spot at The Eagle & Spur in Cookley on 05/10/07 was a successful dry run for an outstanding sell-out concert at Rushwick Village Hall on 27/10/07, followed by another very well received performance at The Woodman Folk Club in Kingswinford on 23/11/07. After a somewhat extended Christmas break they played another successful concert at Bromsgrove Folk Club on 27/03/08, most of which was captured on video by Graham Collins. On 10/04/08 they played a concert night at Common Folk in Pelsall and subsequently received this comment from Margaret Pickersgill:

"Had a great night, and I think I said it all last night and meant it.  I said to Steve on the way home, that if you were at Barry Yates' club tonight, I'd go and see you again.  Every one of your songs I love.  Your musicianship and presentation are excellent and if ever you want a recommendation re. your on-stage performance and suitability for a folk club, just use our names."
They won over their first general "non-folk" audience at a private concert in Bromsgrove on 18/04/08. On 26/06/08 they played to a very enthusiastic crowd at the Tower of Song in Kings Norton, followed by a quieter but still very enjoyable night on 29/06/08 at the Jug of Punch in Sutton Coldfield. Their brief appearance at the Lighthouse Mini-Fest on 05/07/08 contributed to a very successful evening. Since then, in addition to regular Lighthouse club performances and other local floor spots, they have visited:
