We’re THE TICKETS, a multi-instrumental and multi-tasking acoustic duo consisting of Dave Hardy on vocals, guitar and some rather unique foot percussion, and Nigel Hubée combining his vocals with bass, mandolin, dobro, ukulele, guitar and harmonicas. We love arranging and performing Sixties (and occasionally Fifties) classics on acoustic instruments and there are so many memorable tunes from this wonderful era of creativity that even our 100+ repertoire still has room for expansion. This year we’ll be celebrating the 40th anniversary of our first joint live performance at a house party. Photos of the event can be seen on our soon to be expanded history page.
Like many other musicians and performers during the past two years, we’re in the process of emerging from the lockdowns and restrictions that largely prevented us from performing to our local live audiences. There are reviews and reports on events that did still go ahead on our live performances page and on our Facebook posts, as well as announcements on up and coming public gigs.
We didn’t let the measures prevent us from playing! In November 2020 we converted the attic of our practice location into a fully equipped recording studio, from where we’ve since published 29 videos, which have been enjoyed by many from across the globe on our rapidly growing YouTube channel.
Below is our latest YouTube video, followed by a selection of our most watched, liked and commented on recordings for each of the instruments we play. Let us know what you think, we’d love to hear from you! The complete annotated list of our videos is also conveniently presented on our recordings page, so you can enjoy our music without leaving our website. Happy listening!
