Biography

Rain began, as many things do over a cup of tea. It was a particularly nice cup of tea which led to some jovial conversation between the main protagonists.

Graeme Beardmore, notorious bass player with The Friendly Campaign and The New Subterraneans and Sheena McDonagh, formerly of Roam and Pink Djinn discussed the prospect of working together to scratch an itch that Graeme had of working with a female singer on a acoustic project back in 2011. Both parties were keen to take this forward and make music together, and so, it began.

After the intial rehearsal, both were dedicated to putting together a diverse set of songs, at this stage cover songs with a view to perhaps writing some new material at some stage.

Writing original material has now become a mainstay of the pair, conceiving of ideas via coming up with chords structures, weaving in melodies and lyrics when the inspiration happens. 

Rain continue to perform cover songs, as they both like the challenge of finding a way into a song written by someone else and making it their own.
