About Us

We're Ben Bruant and Will Cashel and formed duo in 2011 while studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Ben was born in Le Havre, France, and studied classical guitar at the National Conservatory in Paris before moving to London. Will, born in Bath, England, won a scholarship to the Purcell School of Music at 13 before gaining a place at the Royal Northern College of Music.

We've recorded five albums together and been lucky enough to perform our flamenco fusion of pop and classical tracks around the world – to audiences including British and European royalty and at events such as the Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Good Food Festival, Goodwood, G-Live and Smoked & Uncut.

Our music is regularly featured on Scala Radio and we're the house band on My Wardrobe Malfunction podcast.

Since lockdown began, we've been live streaming weekly sessions - first from separate locations, then together but socially distanced and, more recently, for frontline and key workers in our Gigs In Your Garden which have been featured on BBC Breakfast, Sky News and in The Times newspaper! Our new album 'Gig In Your Garden', featuring many of the tracks from these sessions, is released on 30 October.
