Ben Bruant and Will Cashel are duo \u2013 playing \u2018songs you know in ways you probably don\u2019t\u2019 in a style fusing flamenco, pop and classical music.<\/p>\n

Together the band has recorded five albums and two EPs and performed to audiences including British and European royalty and at Liverpool Philharmonic, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, BBC Good Food Festival, G-Live, Smoked & Uncut, Goodwood, Newbury Spring Festival and the F1 Grand Prix. Its music is featured regularly on Scala Radio and BBC Radio 2 and duo is the house band on Susannah Constantine\u2019s My Wardrobe Malfunction podcast.<\/p>\n

When lockdown began in March 2020, duo began live streaming gigs which evolved into free weekly performances in the gardens of nominated key and frontline workers to thank them for their amazing work during the pandemic. These \u2018Gigs In Your Garden\u2019 became a huge hit and were featured on BBC Breakfast, Sky News, Jeremy Vine on 5 and in The Times, Mail on Sunday and Evening Standard.<\/p>\n

\u2018Gig In Your Garden\u2019 the album, inspired by the music played at these events, was released on Demon Records in February 2021. The gigs continued weekly until July 2021 \u2013 reaching 70 in total \u2013 and have taken place monthly ever since.<\/p>\n
