Deaf Goes East

Deaf Goes East (Youtube channel) are a collaboration between Steve Hartwell and Steve Xerri (Perfect Vision). The name was just a thrown together set of words which were attractive in part because of the initials being the same as Steve Hartwell's main project The Dead Goldfish Ensemble.
