About Me

The Troubadors are an acoustic duo. Formed in 2003 in Yorkshire UK. We have just released our first mini album "Introducing" on our own "Riprizal enterprises" label. Beginning to pick up local and national airplay and have recently started gigging their own material with a few choice covers! We love songs! Proper songs with feeling and a heart and soul!!Give us a listen if you like it go to our website for free downloads and information! I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
