They began working together at Owl studio in Dublin, Ireland during 1997 and quickly established a good musical partnership. Phillip plays keyboard and guitar while Reg plays keyboards and a selection of Irish flutes and whistles. For most of their productions, they engage additional top session musicians and vocalists to give them the exact sounds they are looking for.
Their first joint production was Celtic Trance which achieved critical acclaim across USA. A track from this album was to feature in the trailer of INTO THE ARMS OF STRANGERS: STORIES OF THE KINDERTRANSPORT which won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature at this years Academy Award ceremonies.
