Both musicians are also part of the bluesrock trio The Cards with Saxon guitarist Paul Quinn (The King, from Manchester) and during the first lockdown the idea arose to be able to still play together while the guitarist couldn’t travel to the Netherlands. What began as a spontaneous side project for The Cards has grown to a full-fledged act; the duo has played in multiple cafes in small settings and has done multiple livestreams with thousands of viewers from Russia, Japan, Germany, USA, Sweden, Brasil, etc.
