Old Bakery Studios regulars, Duo Destino bring their summery flamenco vibes to Truro. Fabulous players, this is a must for anyone who's ever picked up a guitar....and anyone who loves flamenco and Spain!Ben Bruant and Will Cashel are Duo Destino – playing guitar in a style fusing flamenco, pop and classical music.
Ben was born in Le Havre in France and studied at the National Conservatory in Paris before moving to London. Will, born in Bath, England, won a scholarship to the Purcell School of Music at 13 before gaining a place at the Royal Northern College of Music.
They met and formed the duo in 2011 while studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Together the band has recorded five albums and two EPs and performed to audiences including British and European royalty and at venues such as Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Good Food Festival, G-Live, Newbury Spring Festival, Folk on the Dock, Goodwood and the F1 Grand Prix. Their music is featured regularly on Scala Radio, on BBC Radio 2 and Duo Destino are the house band on Susannah Constantine’s My Wardrobe Malfunction podcast.
When lockdown began in March 2020, the guitar duo began live streaming gigs which evolved into free weekly performances in the gardens of nominated key and frontline workers to thank them for their amazing work during the pandemic. These ‘Gigs In Your Garden’ became a huge hit and were featured on BBC Breakfast, Sky News, Jeremy Vine on 5 and in The Times, Mail on Sunday and Evening Standard. They continued weekly, in various forms, until July 2021 – reaching 70 in total.
‘Gig In Your Garden’, the album inspired by the music played at these events, was released on Demon Records in February 2021. This was followed, in December 2021, by the band’s first live album ‘Live At The Crazy Coqs’.
The duo’s next album ‘DESTINO’, the first of entirely their own compositions, was released in April 2023. They recorded a live version at Cranleigh Arts in August 2024 and ‘DESTINO - LIVE’ was released in December 2024.
The band live stream a free gig on the last Friday of every month on Facebook and can be found playing in cities around the UK and beyond.
