THE AYFORD BROTHERS
These two brothers, Feargus and Rowan, have been performing together exclusively since 2003 at numerous events. Their true strength lies in their ability to make one sound and to sing in perfect harmony. The fact that they are brothers and share common interests, helps them find each other in the songs that they do. They sing across genres, but they try to focus on what boosts their individual styles. Rowan is more of a entertainer, while Feargus is considered to be a more classical/clinical performer. Together they offer something special and unique, a coming together of brothers sharing their gifts with one another and also those who they perform for.
They have a mutual respect and understanding for each other and that also contributes to the unique sound they make together.
Working together is what makes a success of them, because that is where their true strength lies, along with the support of their family, who has been there throughout their lives.
