Thanks to Mattison's for letting our lil ol' duo cover a weekend slot for them on our evening off. After keeping a packed house dancing and singing along all night I think we could easily drop the 'duo' from our name if we wanted, as we more than held our own against any 4 or 5 piece band. Wishing you all a wonderful 2024!

28/12/2023

Last minute gig booked at Mattison's City Grille, Friday at 8. Come dance and be entertained by the duo that sounds as big as a 5 piece band!
