Pianist Simon Banks and trombonist Kevin Grenfell teamed
up as a duo in early 2001 and quickly established an enviable reputation
with their unique style of entertainment. Both musicians have a serious
pedigree, having played with many nationally known bands, both are bandleaders
in their own right and their festival appearances have included almost all
the major events in UK and Europe. Pianist Simon's powerful stride and swing
piano with original and melodic improvisation and Kevin's superb tone and
technique on the trombone combine to produce a remarkably full instrumental
sound which is enhanced by vocals from both, either in solos or duets, and
they are famous for their animated and humorous stage presentation.
On a personal note my sister loved them-one of many reasons to come down
again Tracy.
