A Brief History
FIRST FALL began in the early 1990's and mainly a recording project born from original material written and composed by Nigel Smith. Nigel and Karen then began performing together before expanding, adding saxophone and double bass, playing blues and country.  The project knew no bounds initially and brought together many musicians, experimenting with different sounds and styles. 

SWANSONG ACOUSTIC began seven years ago and have grown from strength to strength, perfecting and extending their show.
