Biography of Journey South
Journey South is made up of brothers Carl, 24, and Andrew, 28. They cite their main influences as being acts such as Richie Sambora, Mary J Blige and Freddie Mercury.
It was actually younger brother Carl who started performing in local pubs and clubs and was later joined by Andrew. The boys changed their band name to Journey South five years ago when they both gave up their jobs, bought a caravan and journeyed south to London to pursue their dreams of fame and fortune. Two years later and in huge amounts of debt the brothers admitted defeat and returned to their home town of Middlesborough.
