Holler n Duck

Holler n Duck are real people: Kevin O’Regan and Kevin Ward. Kevin O’Regan is a superb songwriter whose lyrics have the succinctness and cleverness that are guaranteed to create laughter – one of his songs reached the finals of the UK Songwriting Contest, a prestigious competition organised by major players in the music industry. He plays guitar and piano (no truth in the rumour that he learnt piano by watching Les Dawson clips) and his vocal style is frequently acrobatic! Kevin’s repartee with the audience is second to none and audience participation is guaranteed.

Kevin Ward plays five string fretless bass and makes it an instrument in its own right rather than a background sound. He incorporates chords and harmonics to provide a wide range of textures that compliment the songs and uses it to imitate such things as an elephant and a truck horn! He used to be a serious musician before he met Kevin O’R! He is the straight man of the duo but look out for the smirk on his face when he does something especially clever on the bass!

Both Kevins have extensive experience of music and performing.
