Adee and Arthur take on the lead vocals and bounce off one another through a multi-decade and multi-genre musical journey. From Sinatra classics to Lady Gaga with a 20s skiffle twist, there’s something for every guest of every age.

With keys, sax/clarinet, drums, trumpet and double bass backing the twin lead vocals, this is a big sound for a wedding or event looking to make a big impression.
