A musical couple are to busk their way around Europe after establishing an impressive reputation on the streets of Altrincham.

Reuben Hester and girlfriend Holly Rose, who have been going out for two years, only got together musically in February after the sudden break-up of Hester’s previous songwriting partnership with Oliver Elmore.

Since then, Hester and Holly Rose have supported singer-songwriter Nathan Grisdale on a full UK and Ireland tour and recorded their first EP together, an eight-track live recording called ‘Acoustic Sessions’.

Their harmonious tones have been regularly heard in Altrincham town centre in recent weeks – and they are now embarking on a 10-week busking tour of Europe, starting in Berlin later this month.

They say: “It is a great way to interact with people, network, and it is great for practicing new songs.”

Their record label, Boxx Records, says they’re hoping to earn “enough money to stay another night!”

“It is going to be an interesting 10 weeks and we are all very excited to meet the new Hester and Holly on their return.”
