About / Biography

The Lost take popular tunes and put their own unique spin on them, creating an extremely full sound from just Acoustic Guitar, Violin, Harmony Vocals and Percussion (and when they are feeling particularly extravagant, a little bit of Mandolin too).

They have been playing together in different acts for over ten years and are as comfortable playing classic songs from the 60s and 70s as they are playing modern rock and pop. Separately, they have toured across the world, playing venues of all sizes and supporting some of the biggest acts in the charts today.

Line up:
Adam - Guitar, Vocals, Mandolin, Percussion
Dhugal - Violin, Vocals, Percussion
Other instruments can be added on request (Ukulele, Bassist or Drummer) - Get in touch for a quote.
