Formed in November 2008 and based in Herne Bay, UK, DaylightSaving is a songwriting duo with a sound that combines elements of jazz, pop, folk and Latin. Having been told they weren't 'pure jazz enough' by a UK radio station that shall remain nameless, Richard and Kate delight in describing themselves as 'mongrel dogs of jazz-pop fusion and proud of it'. That half of their songs sound more like contemporary folk than either pop or jazz is neither here nor there.
In May 2012, DaylightSaving shed two thirds of their personnel to become an acoustic duo with Richard Eady playing guitar and melodica, and Kate Lynn-Devere on vocals, and flute, as well as percussion.
Their lyrics plot Kate's course through the highs and lows of Bipolar Affective Disorder and describe Richard's delight at being alive and in love with the world.
