They are also particularly proud of their acoustic repertoire which they initially developed by performing at local acoustic clubs and uploading home performances to the video sharing website Youtube. They are well respected artists and their videos have been watched by thousands across the world drawing comments such as;

Amazing! Just incredible how spot on you 2 are! Thanks!

You took an average popsong, and turned it into a little diamond!
The harmononies are heavenly.

It simply doesn't get any better than this. Beautiful playing, beautiful voices. You two are the best friends a song ever had. I really enjoy your music. Thank you!

There is no justice in the world until you get the most subscribers on this site,[Youtube] you are far and away the best. 5*

..another great cover.. its a joy to watch you both sing

They have many years of gigging experience at numerous venues in the North West. You can rest assured that you will be hiring consummate professionals who will work with you to provide the best entertainment, no matter what the occasion. .

Their set list is continually updated and contains songs from the current year as well as many of the classics and they always strive to cater for audiences of mixed ages. They are as comfortable singing ballads as they are belting out upbeat songs that will get everyone out of their seats and onto the dance floor.

Acoustic Set

Neal and Shereen pride themselves on being able to deliver a repertoire which requires no technological accompaniment.

Neal is an accomplished acoustic guitarist and singer, Shereens exquisite harmonies are the perfect foil and you will hear by listening to the demos on this page that they really are a class apart.

Their presentation and delivery is of the highest calibre and they have entertained all manor of audiences from small gatherings up to a crowd of 10,000 people at Liverpools annual Mathew Street Festival in 2008.

They are continually developing their acoustic set which features arrangements of songs by numerous artists as diverse as, Simon and Garfunkel, Queen, The Beatles and Robbie Williams.

This type of delivery can also lend itself perfectly to a lounge or late afternoon set to add that little bit of sophistication to any event, especially weddings. They can be booked to perform a laid back/ background set in the afternoon and then a more upbeat dance set in the evening with accompaniment. They can also recommend a DJ to finish off the perfect day.

James Taylor tribute

Neal is a long time admirer of the American singer/songwriter James Taylor. He and Shereen also have an extensive repertoire of his music which they perform acoustically. Neal has mastered James Taylors sophisticated vocal and guitar style and they are happy to provide a recital of this work anywhere, small theatres, folk/acoustic clubs, folk festivals or as part of a private function, especially where James music has a particular significance to one of the parties involved. .

Neal began uploading covers of James Taylor songs to Youtube in 2006 and soon started to receive plaudits from admirers all over the world. Notably from Keech Rainwater, a member of the huge American rock group Lonestar, who shared the same management as James Taylor for a while. So impressed was Keech, he invited Neal to join him in an online collaboration, a tribute to James. Along with other top class Nashville musicians they have formed a virtual band to perform a cover of James Taylors song Your Smiling Face.
