Testimonials I've worked with Nick Holland
for nearly fifteen years and he is a splendid chap. He is an inventive
and inspirational keyboard player, and has been the mainspring of my
work outside Steeleye Span and the Carnival Band. We have put in many
hours on the road together, along with Troy Donockley, and put out five
innovative albums, working on longer, historical, complex pieces of
music. All my work with Nick has been deeply satisfying musically, and
we seem to laugh a lot. I can't remember what at, but then... Maddy Prior "Nick and Katie are two very talented singer/musicians producing fantastic music from a great combination of their brilliant voices and Nicks keyboard playing which is second to none!!" Real professionals who deserve even more success in the future! Ken Giles ( Aston Martin ) " Darwinswish are the ultimate duo. What you get is much more than you see, as they create a BIG sound full of power and brilliance. What's more, their versatility is something else: they can interpret just about any song in any genre and make it their own. As an audience member at lots of their events ( and seeing the effect on those present ) I know they are the tops so... Hire them NOW! Troy Donockley |
