Musical comedy duo near Brackley set to perform anniversary concert at village hall where journey began

Holler n' Duck performed their very first musical comedy concert ten years ago at the Evenley Village Hall, where they had the audience in tears of laughter with their original comic songs and playful banter.

The comedy duo is made up of song writer, singer, guitarist, and pianist Kevin O’Regan and Kevin Ward, who plays five-string fretless bass. The pair also play together in the well-known folk project, the Kevin O’Regan Band.

Kevin O’Regan explained the inspiration behind Holler n' Duck, saying: "I’m a great admirer of Flanders and Swan, and our name comes from theirs - Flanders becomes Holland, which becomes Holler and Swan becomes Duck.

"Our act is a latter-day version, musically more diverse and perhaps not quite so gentlemanly, though it contains no offensive material of the sort that seems to characterise much modern stand-up comedy."

The show's proceeds will be split between Brackley Food Bank and St George's Church in Evenley. The show starts at 7.30 pm and tickets are £12.50 each. They can be booked by telephone at 01280 702300 or by email at [email protected].

Attendees are advised to book early to avoid disappointment, as tickets for the show on April 1 are limited by the size of the hall. The estimated finish time of the concert is 10 pm and there will not be a bar, so audience members are invited to bring their own drinks.
