Acoustic Liquid started off as a cover band and has since turned to original music. They have been widely accepted as a band with outstanding vocals that stands out among others. A real crowd pleaser who has a lot to offer. They have made waves in most of the SA battles in 2009 … making it to the finals of both Klipdrift battle of the bands as well as the RBF finals (to be held in October 2009).
Acoustic Liquid Originals encompass a wide variety of moods all wrapped up neatly in a package that is both soothing and emotional. Westley’s deep lyrics ensure that the vibe created in the music is understood and appreciated by both young and old.

Westleystarted playing the piano at the age of 12. He then picked up the guitar and vocals 2 years later. After years of playing and composing he moved to the UK where he started a very successful band called "Cryet". They toured SA, but it was short lived due to other responsibilities. He then returned to SA where he formed Torment. He never really gave up his passion for acoustic music (after spending many years busking in pubs around the UK) and reformed Acoustic Liquid with Charles in 2005.
