About Us

The lyrics to To Be Different with its upbeat melody, to send a positive message to anyone who worries about being unique and different. At a time when we are all bombarded with how to be, act and look ,this song sends a great positive message, that individuality is absolutely wonderful., no matter how others judge you.
. All our lyrics are designed to uplift everyone no matter or how you feel. Never Too Old to Thrust, our second single revolves around not feeling your age, but embracing life no matter how many candles are on your birthday cake.
Our first cover, Glad All Over respects the original Dave Clark 5 version while putting our own two voice harmonized slant on it. We are working on other new releases in the coming months. All of our songs are meant to carry a life enhancing message wrapped in upbeat fun.
We don`t do sad, broken or rock bottom. There is more than enough of that in the world online and elsewhere. We feel that life really CAN be wonderful, that happiness comes from within, and that you can be, and have whatever you want . Essentially, that is the core reason we write the lyrics we do, because everybody wants to feel good, whatever their life looks like.
We hope our songs put a smile on faces and joy in hearts, whatever life looks like when you hear us. If it lifts you we have achieved what we set out to do. Spreading , positivity and good vibes.

We also present a live 1960`s show regularly. To add atmosphere to the evening we show a free Sixties pop icon gallery. Being hobbyist artists we painted the portraits ourselves, and at the live venues, all the portrait originals are available in quality prints for purchase.

What outside music curators say About Us and our approach to music.

Hello Suited and Booted! It is wonderful to hear from you again! Thank you for returning to Ouro Verde FM 105.9 with “Glad All Over Remastered,” your interpretation of the classic originally made famous by The Dave Clark Five. At this point, you have become familiar artists to us, and I genuinely appreciate the relationship we have developed through your repeated submissions. We have previously supported “To Be Different Remastered,” “Never Too Old To Thrust,” and several submissions of “Glad All Over Remastered.” It is always encouraging to see independent musicians maintaining such enthusiasm for their work and continuing to seek opportunities to introduce their recordings to international audiences. What I particularly appreciate about this submission is the detailed explanation you have provided regarding your arrangement. Rather than simply recording a familiar song, you have clearly considered how to adapt its musical identity to the characteristics of your duo. One of the most interesting aspects is your emphasis on the relationship between your two voices. Vocal harmony is an essential part of the identity of many classic British pop recordings, particularly those associated with the energetic, melodic sound of the 1960s. The Dave Clark Five belonged to a period when memorable vocal arrangements, strong rhythmic foundations, and immediately recognizable choruses played a central role in popular music. Your decision to reinterpret “Glad All Over” through the interaction of two voices rather than attempting to reproduce the original four-voice approach is an interesting artistic choice. It allows you to preserve the spirit of the composition while presenting it through the distinctive vocal format that defines Suited and Booted. I especially appreciate your explanation of the blended vocals in the chorus. When two singers develop a recognizable harmonic relationship, their combined sound can become one of the strongest elements of their artistic identity. The ability to blend voices effectively involves more than singing the correct notes. It also requires attention to phrasing, timing, dynamics, pronunciation, and the emotional character of the performance. In a composition such as “Glad All Over,” where the chorus is central to the song’s memorable and celebratory character, the relationship between the voices becomes particularly important. Your approach to the verses is equally interesting. You describe using lead vocals accompanied by backing-vocal shadowing, which introduces a different form of interaction between the performers. This technique can create an appealing sense of movement within the arrangement. Rather than relying on the same vocal configuration throughout the entire song, it allows the verses and choruses to establish different musical relationships. That contrast is valuable because it helps maintain the listener’s attention while giving the chorus a stronger sense of arrival. I also appreciate that you have identified your two-voice blend as a defining characteristic of your brand. Developing a recognizable artistic identity is particularly important for independent performers. When listeners can identify an artist through the character of the vocals, arrangements, or overall presentation, that recognition can become an important part of building a lasting audience. For Suited and Booted, the interaction between your voices appears to be a central element of that identity. Another particularly interesting aspect of your arrangement is the galloping rhythmic feel you have introduced into the backing track. Rhythm is one of the most effective ways to reinterpret a familiar composition without changing its fundamental melodic identity. A different rhythmic approach can alter the perceived movement and energy of a song, allowing listeners to experience a familiar melody from a new perspective. Your decision to incorporate this galloping character suggests that you wanted to create a version with its own momentum rather than simply reproducing the rhythmic foundation of the original recording. I find that approach especially appropriate for a song whose identity is so closely connected with excitement and celebration. The challenge with any cover version is finding the right balance between respecting the original composition and establishing a distinctive interpretation. If an arrangement follows the original too closely, listeners may struggle to identify what makes the new recording different. On the other hand, if too many recognizable elements are changed, the qualities that made the composition memorable can become less apparent. Your description indicates that you have approached this balance deliberately. You have retained the song’s recognizable identity while focusing on the musical elements that distinguish Suited and Booted: your vocal blend, the interplay between lead and backing vocals, and your chosen rhythmic character. I also appreciate that you had the composition professionally mastered at a local recording studio. Mastering is an important final stage of audio production, particularly for music intended for distribution across different listening environments. A carefully prepared master can help maintain consistency in tonal balance, dynamics, and overall presentation, allowing a recording to translate more effectively between streaming platforms, personal listening systems, and radio broadcasting. Your decision to invest in that stage demonstrates your commitment to presenting the recording professionally. Beyond the technical aspects, however, what I find especially meaningful is your reason for choosing this particular song. You explain that you selected “Glad All Over” because of its feel-good character and the sense of happiness and euphoria that it communicates. I believe that is an important artistic consideration. Music does not always need to explore difficult emotions or complicated narratives to make a meaningful contribution to people’s lives. There is considerable value in songs that celebrate happiness, affection, optimism, and the simple pleasure of feeling good. In fact, one of the reasons classic pop recordings continue to resonate across generations is their ability to communicate recognizable emotions through accessible melodies and energetic performances. “Glad All Over” is a particularly appropriate example. Its enduring appeal is closely connected with its exuberant character and memorable melodic structure. The song represents a tradition of pop music in which enthusiasm and emotional directness are central to the listening experience. Your decision to revisit that tradition is consistent with the positive and approachable identity you have established through your previous releases. I can also see a connection between this recording and “To Be Different,” which we have supported on several occasions. Although the compositions explore different ideas, both reflect your interest in music that encourages listeners to embrace positive emotions and enjoy themselves. Similarly, “Never Too Old To Thrust” demonstrates your willingness to incorporate humor, energy, and a playful attitude into your artistic presentation. Together, these releases suggest a consistent creative philosophy: music should be enjoyable, engaging, and capable of bringing people together. That is a valuable identity for a performing duo. From a radio programming perspective, I appreciate the opportunity to feature independent British artists who draw inspiration from classic pop traditions while presenting those influences through their own performances. Brazilian audiences have a longstanding appreciation for British popular music, including recordings from the 1960s that remain recognizable decades after their original release. Introducing a contemporary independent interpretation of such a familiar composition can therefore create an interesting connection between musical nostalgia and the discovery of new performers. At Ouro Verde FM 105.9 in Campinas, Brazil, we value opportunities to introduce international independent artists to our listeners, particularly when their music combines accessibility, personality, and a clear artistic direction. Your interpretation of “Glad All Over” fits that objective through its familiar melodic foundation, upbeat character, and emphasis on your distinctive vocal partnership. I am therefore delighted to confirm that “Glad All Over Remastered” will receive another month of radio airplay on Ouro Verde FM 105.9 in Campinas, Brazil. Since we have already supported this recording through previous submissions, this represents a further month of promotional support, continuing the relationship we have established with Suited and Booted. I also want to congratulate you on the development of your website, sbmusic.uk, and your efforts to collect and share reviews of your recordings. For independent artists, maintaining an accessible online presence and documenting the reception of their music can be useful ways to present their work professionally. It is encouraging to see you taking an active role in promoting your catalogue and maintaining connections with curators and listeners. What I particularly appreciate about our ongoing collaboration is your consistency. You have continued to present your music with enthusiasm, explain the creative decisions behind your recordings, and demonstrate genuine appreciation for the opportunities offered to you. That professional attitude is something I value. As you continue developing your repertoire, I encourage you to keep exploring the vocal arrangements that make your partnership distinctive. Your emphasis on the interaction between two voices is an artistic strength worth developing further, whether through original compositions or reinterpretations of established songs. Congratulations once again on “Glad All Over Remastered.” Your intention to preserve the joyful spirit of The Dave Clark Five’s classic while introducing your own vocal and rhythmic characteristics is a thoughtful approach to recording a cover. I am very happy to continue supporting Suited and Booted through another month of radio airplay on Ouro Verde FM 105.9 in Campinas, Brazil. Thank you for your continued trust, your enthusiasm, and your commitment to bringing positive energy into your music. It is always a pleasure to welcome you back, and I wish you both continued success with your recordings, performances, and future releases. Warm regards from Brazil!
