About

They've been seen as folks answer to the White Stripes and described as The Pussycat Dolls meets Nick Drake but thankfully for all their talent, Pierre Vincent and Bessie Sayce are about as far from being diva's in the making as you could hope to find.

Giving up the comfort of a rented home for a life on the road, living out of their winnebago has sown the seeds for some fine adventures. With plenty of skill and bucketful's of charm, it isn't any wonder that THE DEALERS have achieved the accolades that they have in such a short period of time. Winning the first ever Rochester Sweeps Folk competition and awarded Best Unsigned Acoustic Act In Britain (PLAYMUSIC Magazine) THE DEALERS have recieved airplay on radio stations across the UK, USA and Australia and had a song added to Neil Young's Living With War Website all in the space of two years.

The Dealers are now organising a tour of Europe for late 2008 and are crossing the Atlantic to gig the US in 2009.

Pierre's Dlyan-esque guise is a perfect foil to Bessie's gothic-inspired image, she wouldn't look out of place in a Gwen Stefani video. Their self-penned self-financed albums are driven by acoustic guitar but ring with the spirit of classic English pop, disregarding what's expected from acoustic music.

Thankyou for taking the time to listen!

"The best acoustic band we've ever come across"
Barney Jameson, Editor Playmusic Magazine

"Alternative Folk's answer to the White stripes"
Neill Barston, What's On

"A breath of fresh air! Catch them before they are whisked away by a canny music mogul"
Kim Headley, Artistic Director Broadstairs Folk Week

"Kents busiest acoustic duo"
K-City

"Destined for success, these songs have to be heard"
Mac Maclaren, Editor Lemonrock

"I have never seen anyone play the acoustic in quite the way Pierre did, by god I felt sorry for it! The tunes were thrashed out with so much talented dynamism that I was fearful for the condition of the sound system."
Joss Lloyd, Review Gulbenkien Café Bar 30th October '07

I'm blown away by your music -- crisp guitars, thoughtful lyrics, and your voices work beautifully together. I could listen to 'Cost' and 'Bitter Pill' all day. Please keep going with the creativity, I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!
