Contraband were customers at Westar from day one, they booked regular rehearsal slots and over the first year honed their skills and wrote some great songs. It wasn’t long before they ventured into the recording studio and some of their early results were very promising. With regular gigs and a good following it was only a matter of time before they rose to the top, we continued to record and built up an impressive catalogue of songs. Over the next few years the band went through a number of changes due to outside forces but the core remained the same, main songwriter Paul Petts combined with keyboard player James Nicholas together wrote some beautiful tunes which still sound great today. These guys slipped through the net and this is a rare opportunity to listen to some artists at work.
