​
Midnight Specials
We  are a guitar vocal duo. Aiming largely at the 'not so young' audience, we try and give a variety of material, including songs from the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's, plus folk, rock 'n' roll, ballads, even C & W ! Enthusiastic about our performances, we encourage audience participation when appropriate
