"Two extraordinarily gifted and astonishing performers, great presence, remarkably imaginative, wholly original - and colossal fun."

THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE. THEY HAVE ARRIVED. NO TOUCHING.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
2006 ~ graduated from the Leipzig Conservatoire, with Fitz-Harding the winner of the Lenya Award for most promising coloratura soprano, and Mannish the youngest recipient of the Mendelssohn Composition Prize for his first full-length opera, 'Juturna'.
Late 2006 ~ first performance of 'Juturna' (conducted by Mannish, with Fitz-Harding in the lead role) at the Opera House in Leipzig; a noted German critic wrote of the music as being "about two hundred years ahead of its time, but not exactly easy on the ear."
2007 ~ embarked on a classical recital tour of continental Europe, visiting Lyon, Frankfurt, Bologna, Kiev, Brno, Krakow and Thessaloniki, among others; they met with unprecedented (and as yet unrivalled) success in Armenia, but were banned from Portugal after a controversial outdoor performance for which they were both arrested and detained at Lisbon's prison.
Early 2008 ~ Relocated to Wickham Fen, Cambridgeshire, and later to London; met with various record producers and music executives, who suggested that they attempt to incorporate "pop songs" into their repertoire.
