They became firm friends during this time, living together and sharing many memorable musical experiences. Since then they have both gone on to have successful performing careers of their own, touring internationally and releasing multiple albums.

HEART in particular is an important place for both of them, having been regulars at the venue since it’s opening, both together and with their individual projects.

We've got lots of great music for you from classic Big Band, Christmas and Party tunes. And lots of room for dancing!
