Subversive acoustic sophistipop.

Don’t know what that means? Take a listen to the music of these two.

Holly Taymar and Chris Bilton are two Yorkshire-bred twenty-somethings with a talent for writing and arranging beautiful acoustic originals, featuring a multitude of genres. Frank, intimate but never anything less than stunningly delicate, these two Northerners invite you on a journey into their world.

With ‘one of the most distinctive voices in the Yorkshire area’ and a naturally warm rapport with each other on stage, Holly & Chris have truly earned their reputation as one of the North’s most respected acoustic duos.

There’s harmonious finger picked acoustic & electric guitars, interwoven beautiful vocal harmonies, a smattering of bass, perfectly placed percussion and a glimpse of ukulele.
There’s also a repertoire of endearing songs you’ll want to hear again and again.

Over the last few years, Holly & Chris have honed their live show and performed extensively in the UK, which has earned them national airplay from BBC Radio 2 presenters Steve Lamacq & Bob Harris, as well as a prestigious place in the Glastonbury Emerging Talent longlist and a growing list of dedicated followers.
There’s no substitute for good old fashioned hard work – and seven years, thousands of miles and hundreds of gigs later, it’s about time the whole world knew about one of York’s best kept secrets.
