Glasgow born singer songwriter guitarist and producer, Hamish Stuart is best known for his 10 years as frontman with the Average White Band from 1972 to 1982. He has gone on to work with artists of the highest calibre such as Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan and David Sanborn. He has written hit songs for Diana Ross, George Benson, Atlantic Starr and Chaka Khan to name a few.

After spending some time in Paul McCartney's band he recorded his first solo album "Sooner or Later" in 1999. The album includes the tracks "Midnight Rush" and "It Is What Is". "Midnight Rush" was co-written by Hamish Stuart, Richard Bull and Jean-Paul Maunick (of Incognito fame). "It Is What It Is" was co-written by Hamish Stuart, Richard Darbyshire (of Living in a Box) and Frank Musker (Novello award winner).

Grant Sullivan "12 Shades of Fantasy" is a prolific music producer, re-mixer and DJ. Grant has been producing high-quality dance music consistently since putting out his first tracks in 1992.

Paul Redfern "Redfunk" is a DJ, radio presenter and self-confessed Average White Band nut and Hamish Stuart fan.

Together they are 12 Shades 'n' Redfunk. The pair met a couple of years ago and share a love of all things funk and soul. Grant invited Paul to take some tracks into The Utility Studios to do some mixes. Two of the tracks chosen were "Midnight Rush" and "It I s What It Is". A soulful house groove was agreed on for "Midnight Rush" and a groove similar to Nu Colours "Special Kinda Lover" for "It Is What It Is".

When complete the mixes were sent to Hamish Stuart who liked them so much he is planning to add them to his live set in the re-mix style!
