Acclaimed UK based acoustic duo The Daydream Club (Adam Pickering and Paula Walker) didn't start performing together until February 2010, despite having met years before whilst studying at Paul McCartney's prestigious University, The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA).

"Really astonishing musicianship… they met at LIPA, so no wonder they're so bloomin' good."BBC 6 Music Tom RobinsonTheir debut album Overgrown was released worldwide via their own label (Poco Poco Records) in November 2010.

It includes crowd favourites The Record Shop, On The Move, The Affair and English Rain. This led to airplay on regional BBC radio stations plus BBC 6 Music. "For our debut offering we wanted to create something honest and real.

Prior to The Daydream Club we had both been involved in large scale projects… backing tracks, click tracks, lighting and effects etc and that was all impressive on a different scale, but for our first release we wanted people to be impressed by us and our songs, no gimmicks… just us.

"In the days pre-Daydream Club, Adam could be found supporting the likes of Sam Sparro, The Wombats, Sneaky Sound System, Tinchy Stryder, DJ Yoda and Felix B (Basement Jaxx) with various bands. Adam has also gained respect for his remixes under the alias Lenny Picko, including; 'Warrior' Magic Wands, 'Manifesto' and 'Die Tonight' Defend Moscow and 'Something Golden' Le Corps Mince De Francoise.

Paula (actually a trained professional dancer) turned her attentions to music after touring internationally with hit percussion show Noise Ensemble, headlining Henley Festival and working with Luc Petit (Director of Cirque Du Soleil).

Her melodious vocals add rich layers to Adam Pickerings musical soundscapes. "Together, they appear to have found their true milieu in The Daydream Club."
