Купити для Duo Destino каву

Ben Bruant and Will Cashel are Duo Destino – playing guitar in a style fusing flamenco, pop and classical music.

Ben was born in Le Havre in France and studied at the National Conservatory in Paris before moving to London. Will, born in Bath, England, won a scholarship to the Purcell School of Music at 13 before gaining a place at the Royal Northern College of Music.

They met and formed the duo in 2011 while studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Together the band has recorded seven albums and two EPs and performed to audiences including British and European royalty and at venues such as Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Good Food Festival, G-Live, Newbury Spring Festival, Folk on the Dock, Goodwood and the F1 Grand Prix. Their music is featured regularly on Scala Radio, on BBC Radio 2 and Duo Destino are the house band on Susannah Constantine’s My Wardrobe Malfunction podcast.

When lockdown began in March 2020, the guitar duo began live streaming gigs which evolved into free weekly performances in the gardens of nominated key and frontline workers to thank them for their amazing work during the pandemic. These ‘Gigs In Your Garden’ became a huge hit and were featured on BBC Breakfast, Sky News, Jeremy Vine on 5 and in The Times, Mail on Sunday and Evening Standard. They continued weekly, in various forms, until July 2021 – reaching 70 in total.
