Biography
This classical guitar duo are based in the Midlands and are available for weddings and functions.
The Duo was formed in 1999 and both players have performed many concerts either as soloists or as members of ensembles and now combine their musical experience into this new and exciting ensemble.
The duo plays music from renaissance to modern times which also includes romantic music from Spain and South America, Django Reinhardt gypsy music and ragtime. Their latest programme includes a selection of British and North American folk music arrangements which combine lyrical beauty with rhythmic excitement.
They perform on classical instruments which create a warm intimate sound and evoke the characteristic moods of the pieces.
