As sharp musically as they are in attire, Liverpool quartet The Universal apply timeless values of upbeat melodic British rock songwriting to a sharp-dressed 2010 model. The band are based around singer, guitarist and songwriter Terry Shaughnessy, who brings a deep-seated love of classic vintage guitar rock. Growing up in Liverpool, the ambience of the Beatles was a happily accepted ever-present, but with two uncles playing in bands and a mother an active member of the Small Faces fan club, Shaughnessyís musical education came steeped in classic values of songs with creativity, individuality and fire in the belly. The Universal are completed with Gary Chambers on bass, Dave Ormsby on drums and lead guitarist Piet Koehorst.
