The Dualers perform a unique blend of ska, soul and reggae that appeals to all ages with members of their database ranging from 1 to 91. They have a fan base of approaching 10,000 members but have probably been seen by in excess of 4 million whilst busking around the south east and performing at private functions, for the last 8 years. They have sold over 35,000 copies of their first two cd's on the streets alone.

As children they were brought up on ska and soul, the music their father Bill Cranstoun was instrumental in introducing to London, with his Savoy Sound System at several locations in the 60’s including regular nights at the Swan & Sugar Loaf in Croydon, The King Alfred in Sydenham and The Bedford Arms in Balham. Their mother Jacqueline, born in Sierra Leone, who met Bill at the Locarno Ballroom in Streatham, was pulled into work the cloakrooms and to keep an eye on him!

Si and Tyber remember “Growing up in our house we were listening to The Blues Busters, Lord Creator, Stranger Cole, Bob Marley, The Skatalites, Sam Cooke and Otis Redding to name a few”

The family lived all across the south east whilst the boys were growing up including Bromley, Canterbury, Croydon, London and Penge as such all these places feel like their home town. Tyber currently lives in Greenwich, London and Si in Caterham, Surrey.

Music has always been Si and Tyber’s first love and upon leaving school Simon pursued music as a career and he enjoyed some success. Tyber attended the elite Guildhall School of Music and Drama also attended by Orlando Bloom and Ewan McGregor and after some television success Tyber decided to join his brother singing on the streets.

Whenever they have performed they have had a phenomenal response whether on the streets or in clubs their lively and charismatic performance has blown audiences away.

Their debut single “Kiss On The Lips” entered the charts on Sunday 24th October 2004 at number 21 ahead of established artists such as Bjork and Slipknot and this has sent a shockwave throughout the music industry. Despite no national coverage or airplay, the single stayed in the charts for a second week at number 33.

Amazingly, they did this with only the help of a small group of friends. They had no record contract, no distributor, no agent, no manager and no promoter!

Point of No Return
The Dualers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My troubles only double
When i'm without you
No i don't know whether
I'm comin' or goin'
Maybe i'm not qualified
At least i can say
I've tried to win you girl
There's no turning back now
Step by step
We're at the point of no return
I've given all i have to give
Step by step
We're at the point of no return
There's still so much more to learn
Now it's all up to you
Remember the moment that i first met you
Without warning you came into my world
No time for me to change
Things would never be the same
When i'm with you girl
There's no turning back now
Step by step
We're at the point of no return
I've given all i have to give
I can't take no pressure no
Step by step
We're at the point of no return
There's still so much more to learn
Now it's all up to you

Overall Meaning

The Dualers' song "Point of No Return" is a love song that expresses the singer's devotion towards a woman. The first verse starts by stating that the singer's "troubles only double" when he's without his love interest, as he doesn't know if he's "comin' or goin'." Despite this, he notes that he's willing to try to win her over, even if he's not sure if he's "qualified" to do so. The second verse recalls the moment when the singer first met the woman, explaining that she "came into [his] world without warning" and that there was no time for him to change his feelings towards her. The song's chorus suggests that the couple has reached a critical point in their relationship- the "point of no return"- and that the singer has given everything he has to give. The song ends by acknowledging that "it's all up to [her]" now.

Overall, "Point of No Return" is a song that praises the power of love and the lengths people will go to in order to win their love interest's affection. The repetition of "step by step" in the chorus and the overall upbeat melody convey the idea that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make his relationship work.

Line by Line Meaning

My troubles only double
I face twice as many problems when I am without you

When i'm without you
Being apart from you causes me trouble and distress

No i don't know whether
I am uncertain about my current state of mind

I'm comin' or goin'
I feel confused and disoriented

Maybe i'm not qualified
Perhaps I am not deserving of your love

At least i can say
I can take pride in the fact that

I've tried to win you girl
I have made an effort to win your affection

There's no turning back now
We have reached a point beyond which retreat is impossible

Step by step
Gradually and consistently

We're at the point of no return
We have gone too far to turn back now

I've given all i have to give
I have invested everything I have into this relationship
