In 2010 following the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Firefly Magazine wrote:-"The Long And Short Of It hit the Tamworth Country Music Festival this year for the first time. Based in Melbourne Victoria this duo act has a refreshing sound with terrific harmony. I saw the act at the Oasis Hotel and also received recommendations for their performances at the Carter Street Cricket Center on the Country Flavour Stage. They struck me as true entertainers who have a repertoire that covers from country music through variations of blues music to general pop music."
David Baird is the short of the duo, he is a shy person however when performing in public his beautiful musical talent takes over and he becomes a true entertainer. David has been a singer/guitarist for over thirty years. Recently he has been concentrating on song writing. The album "Standing at the Station" released in 2011 contains four original works written in conjunction with Patsy Toop. The new album "Twin Flames" (2012) contains three original works, and they produced their first music video song from Track 7 on the Album, the song about "Robyn".
Patsy Toop is the long side of the duo herself getting into entertainment at an early age by learning classical piano. She had an early life desire to be a singer/entertainer and it was through a chance meeting with David that her dream has come true. She first saw David performing at a charity gig and they got to know each other and started to work together and thus the duo "The Long And Short Of It" was born, and this has seeded an extraordinary powerful collaboration between two superb entertainers.
"In the Middle" ,"Standing at the Station" and "Twin Flames" ....were co- produced by David Baird, Patsy Toop & Michael Zammit Air Waves Studio's was the sound engineer and aided the recording
