A Rockin’ Lid’l Duo
Rod Baxter and Thomas Linckh
Present a selection of songs from across the Decades.
Expect hits from the Everly Brothers, The Beatles and many more…
Thomas and Rod met on the local Pub Session circuit and it was their shared love of vocal
harmony, particularly that of The Everly Brothers and The Beatles, that brought them together.
They have since built up a repertoire spanning the decades from then right up to the present day.
