The Warner Brothers in the ‘80s, The Beehive Hotel in Hawthorn was a well-known country music venue. Dan & James began playing a Friday night residency at The Beehive from the middle of 1986. The duo gigs went well. Dan & James’s country-tinged set started to bring to the pub a new generation of music-lovers interested in American music. The gigs were long, drawn-out and boozy. In 1987, the duo added a rhythm section, James Carden on drums and Malcolm McBeath on bass. As a joke, some members of the regular crowd at the Beehive began to call the nameless band ‘The Warner Brothers’.
