Lilygreen and Maguire at Caerphilly Castle

The Welsh singer- songw riter duo Lilygreen and Maguire , who have been travelling throughout Wale s with their Big Welsh Busk, are nearing the end of their week long tour.

Thursday saw them visiting Caerphilly and Chepstow.

In the morning Caerphilly Castle pr ovided a great setting for the busking boys. There was a great response from the general public as well as friends and fans, with some attending for the second day in a row.

Being a boy from Blackwood said Jon Maguire, Caerphilly had the nearest McD onalds, and also an extremely pretty castle. It was awesome to be back, seeing some old friends, and parents of old friends who turned up to the busk.

After a brief visit to Chepstow Race Course , the duo travelled on to Chepstow town centre where again a number of old friends and a strong following from the l ocal school proved to be a dedicated audience despite the on-going April showers.

According to Jon Lilygreen Chepstow used to be my old gig hangout, and Id go there on a weekly basis. It was awesome being back here and seeing some old familiar faces. Was well chuffed with the fact that people continued sitting outside even though the rain was a bit ridiculous. Bring on tomorrow.

Friends Jon Lilygreen and Jon Maguire , have just released their debut single Come On Get Higher on the Warner Music label and will release their EP Aint Love Crazy on June 11 th 2012 .

Busking at Caerphilly Castle

The local duo has already built up a solid fan base after supporting X Factor runner-up Olly Murs on his recent arena tour of the UK and Ireland. They are also well- known within the South Wales' music scene: Lilygreen as a covers performer and Maguire as a local music producer and member of a rock band. They came together in 2009 when their talent was spotted by Warner Bros. Music who soon secured the duo with a lucrative record deal. Their debut album will be released later this year.

Lilygreen and Maguires tour started on Monday in Wrexham and their first busk was at Glyndwr University in the town.

Since then they have tr av elled to Bangor, Aberystwyth, Carmarthen , Swansea and Barry whe re they have performed on a beach , a pier, in castle grounds and various shopping centres .

The final leg of their tour sees them performing in Caerleon amphitheatre on Friday morning and in Cardiff Bay on Friday afternoon.

Jon Lilygreen said weve been looking forward to these gigs, to pitch up at some fantastic locations and play in the open-air. Its going to be quite a challenge visiting so many venues across Wales, including a beach, a prom, a castle and our hometown, Newport, and hopefully our fans will come and support us and cheer us on for the rest of the week, as they have been doing so far.

A duo that will make their mark in a very big way in 2012. The Mahogany Blog
