Went to see The Dualers last night at a local club.
They're a Ska band from South London, who have built up a large following by hard gigging, and by busking in local towns. Mrs Tiggi discovered them busking in Canterbury, and we checked them out on the net. Saw them live in London three years ago, and had to go along when they played our home town.
Originally formed around the two brothers Tyber, & Simon Cranstoun - hence the band name - with Tyber now heading things up. He's a hugely charismatic frontman, and has surrounded himself with a crack 8-piece band. Great band who probably won't ever see massive success due to their championing of a relatively minority musical genre, and that's a shame.
A video clip of their signature song:
