Darryl Ebbatson and Eddie Baird first worked together on the album 'Space to Hula', which, although marketed as a solo album by Darryl (Ed's choice!), was a collaboration, with Ed singing as well as co-writing and playing guitar on some of the tracks.

Encouraged by the artistic results, they again worked together on 'Bare Facts', which features songs written together and separately, resulting in a diverse sounding album, more lushly arranged than Space to Hula.
