    Yeh she's pretty stunning, and both of them are very down to earth, decent people.

    I've been a fan for nearly 2 years now and think they're the bees knees. I was sure most people in Dublin knew of them?

    They played a gig in the college last year (DKIT). Unbelieveable and I'm a guitar perfectionist. One wrong note and I start frowning.

    Yes, yes, yes..... big deal!

    They knock out a few Dave Brubeck tunes, a bit of Flamenco and they ripped of the Megadeath thing from a band called Apocalyptica who do the whole MD back catalogue in a classical stylee on cellos.

    They're ok as buskers go, but I can't see why anyone would pay good money to see them...

    I'd give 'em 50p if I was passing.

    I know a guy who is aged 17 or so and played with them when they played in Cobh, Cork. He goes by the name of Peter Wilson and he is amazing at guitar especially when you consider his age.

    They were playing a LOT of flamenco when I saw them doing warm up at the sugar club about 3 years ago.

    think some of ye might be mixing up flamenco and classic spanish guitar,its not really important they are class wat ever sort of music they play. they are unbelievable and deserve credit for bringin something different to our streets/theatres/pubs....they are more than just buskers,no disrespect to the many hugely talented entertainers on our streets

    I heard Gabriela being asked to play flamenco. She laughed, saying she couldn't.... gave it a fair go but still messed it up.
    It's the same as saying nu-metal is the same as death-metal. I bet you can hear similarities if you're not familar with either but they're not the same thing.

    No, that was Metallica, not Megadeth.
    At least try and get it right if you're going to critisize.

    I will leave you to find a dictionary and see if you can detect the delicious irony in this statement.

    You're the one who started making statements when you obviously knew nothing about what you were talking about. You've not even responded to the last comments on the Flamenco topic, all you seem to be doing is giving aggro, and being a bothersome git towards anyone who points out your obvious flawed statements.

    Just drop it already.
