Members of the talented quintet even have number one hits to add to their collection of accolades.

Recent International engagements have included playing for Lord Coe and athletes from around Europe for the Olympic 'One Year To Go' event held in St Pancras International Station, the unveiling of Chopin's statue for the Polish Embassy, HRH The Duke of Gloucester at the Royal Festival Hall and an Independence Day recital for the Ronald Reagan Foundation,
