Are they based in France.

Absolute crackers!! Had me laughing out loud with pleasure. Totally unexpected development of cello virtuosity, wouldnā€™t have believed it possible!

2Cellos - recent discovery, would like to get to a gig but they havenā€™t done one which works both geographically and temporally for me (ie always wrong time and/or place).

Otherwise, in no particular order:

Michael Shenker
Johnny Cash
Ronny James Dio
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Queen
Floyd
Metallica
Kraftwerk
Tangerine Dream
Rush
Patti Smith
Hawkwind
The Doors/Jim Morrison

Paul, your taste in music, especially heavy metal, has endeared you to my wife ! I must admit I enjoy Metallica ā€œnothing else mattersā€. Sheā€™s trying to play it on the piano.

Thereā€™s a similar American duo - Emil & Dariel - though theyā€™re a bit ā€œwholesomeā€ for my taste.

Try it on the banjo, accordion and double bass :slight_smile: (their version of Thunderstruck is better).

Second Kenny Rogers. And how about Joan Baez, Kris Krisrofferson and Gordon Lightfoot?

John Ogdon, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Daniel Barenboim, Neil Young, Elton John, Uriah Heep.

My motherā€™s friend used to live in a semi next door to John Ogden in Crosby in Liverpool.
Lucky her!
I suppose you could add anyone who has won the Tchaikovsky or Leeds prizes.

The Walker Bros. Dionne Warick. The Moody Blues.The Searchers.

Yes Jane, he won the Tchaikovsky jointly with Ashkenazy and the two performances were superb. Ashkenazy became patron of the John Ogdon Trust along with Ogdonā€™s wife Brenda. Sad to think the great man (my musical hero) spent his time either on tour, at home or at the Maudsleyā€¦Iā€™ve seen some top concert pianists but never had the chance to see Ogdon unfortunately.

Seasick Steveā€¦! And the other guyā€¦! x :slight_smile: - YouTube
