The instrumental acoustic guitar duo, composed of Donal Gunne and Pearse Feeney, will release their debut album – Aliquot Strings later this month.

The nine-track album features a blend of sounds derived from classical and '60’s rock to heavy metal, trad, flamenco and jazz.

Their enchanting sound has gained the pair support slots with José Feliciano, Rodrigo y Gabriela and – after being spotted busking by the lady herself – Regina Spektor.
