A NEW Cumbrian musical duo will be gigging in the area following the overnight success of their first video.

With Nay and I are vocalist Naomi Nield and Richard Tordoff on acoustic guitar.

With a name inspired by the cult movie ‘Withnail and I’, Naomi and Richard have joined forces to sing at weddings, garden parties and any special event.

Their first professional video, featuring the Eva Cassidy number ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’, and produced by Dave Macfarlane of dmtwo.media, has already scored thousands of viewings online. It was recorded by Tom Tyson at The Music Farm Studios in Egremont where the duo’s first demo disc was also made.

Both professional musicians with years of experience performing in the region, Naomi and Richard cover a mixture of traditional, classic and modern songs, interspersed with fingerstyle guitar solos.

“We span a wide range of genres and periods ranging from Eva Cassidy to Green Day, from Audrey Hepburn to Adele,” said Richard. “We’re confident there will be something for everyone’s taste and will happily consider learning new numbers if there is something special requested.”

Naomi added: “We understand how to create a day that is unique and will tailor our music for any occasion.”
