For Levellers fans, the show offers a chance to see some of their favourites in a different musical arrangement and for lovers of acoustic music itā€™s an opportunity to witness four talented musicians each bringing something special to the mix with contributions from the Doyle and Miro song catalogues.Ć¢ā‚¬ĀØĆ¢ā‚¬ĀØ
Simon quotes: ā€œYouā€™ve got to keep the substance of the songs, but I didnā€™t want everyone to think that they had to perform it like a version of The Levellers".

After almost 25 years with The Levellers, Simon Friend has found it refreshing to be planning his own show. ā€œItā€™s healthy to do something outside the band and have some fun".

Some of the Survey's set list is drawn from Simonā€™s songs, such as Is This Art and The Boatman, but on the whole lesser known songs featured on Levellers B sides.
Each song is dismantled and reworked from the ground up, recognizable but with a different approach utilizing a plethora of acoustic instruments including Guitars, Bass, Mandolin, Mando-Cello, Whistle, Banjo, Harmonica and Percussion.

Festivals For All quoted: Best Band at Off the Tracks Spring Festival 2012.
