A truly unique duo, performing their upbeat mash up of roots styles, with elements of roots, jazz, world and folk. Expect a joyous jamboree, featuring anything from bluegrass banjo, French accordion waltzes, Cuban ballads, some jump-jive sax, balkan clarinet, New Orleans grooves and their own composition.; A fabulous musical treat is in store wherever they roll up, their tour bus packed to the brim with instruments. Pete on guitar, banjo, vocals, accordion, Cuban tres, ukulele, and Frankie on sax, vocals, clarinet, flute, & between them all kinds of percussion including suitcase and spoons!

Pete and Frankie have appeared on various BBC Local Radio shows, MTV Asia, and have been gathering admirers at shows and festivals in the UK, Europe and internationally. They’ve played gigs in Havana, toured France, Ireland and Sweden, and festivals in Shetland, Borneo, France and Portugal.

‘Really brilliant ! So uplifting!’ BBC Radio Derby ‘The sheer enthusiasm & joy of their music along with their wonderful musicianship & great stage presence combine to create an act that will undoubtedly go down a storm wherever they play. ” Jim McLaughlin, Musicport Festival Director
