Vicki and Jonny have been playing music together well over 10 years, meeting whilst playing for their local county youth orchestra.
Vicki’s unique style of playing the Scottish Smallpipes; that is at once spell-bindingly beautiful and haunting is perfectly complimented by Jonny’s driving guitar playing.
Strong believers in letting music live and breathe, Vicki and Jonny allow the melody to sing without any constraints. Constantly seeking new harmonic pathways they help to keep pipe music alive and growing.
