Reina is wonderful, we’ve been following her channel for a while. We love the idea of doing streamed live shows and it’s something we are definitely considering.
At the moment we don’t see a way of fitting in the time to prepare, set up and rehearse for a show like that amidst working on a new original album, another big project (to be announced very soon!), and keeping up with everything else. But it is something we are quite certain we will make the time for eventually!

Hi Andrew,
I see you already found the making-of video 🙂 https://test2.monalisa-twins.com/mlt-club-behind-scenes/
We filmed all around central London and in Brightlingsea Beach (near Clacton-On-Sea) wearing PJs and sporting the messy hair. Oh yes, it was nerve-racking at first but it got easier as the day progressed. We found out that in a metropolis like London 95% of people are so busy trying to make it from point A to B that they won’t even give you a second glance. We got the odd comment here and there but it was all in good nature, and why we were dressed like that was easily explained by saying we were working on an “art project”.
And we’re quite happy with how that “art project” turned out 🙂 -
Hi Will!
Thanks for saying “hi” in the forum, we hope you’ve enjoyed meeting everyone so far! 🙂If you end up playing any of our songs with your band at the mall, we’d love to see that if there is a way you can film it! We love seeing other people interpret our songs and we always feel very honored. Also thank you for sending us the letter with the article about the Inclusion Jam Project! We love getting snail mail ♥
We applaud you for starting to learn the organ in 2013 – it’s never too late! There are no excuses not to go after your ambitions and have some fun with art and music. We are so glad to hear it’s bringing you joy 🙂
Thank you for supporting our journey and for being groovy,

Hi Andy,
Pleasure to meet you here in the MLT Club, thanks for being a member! 🙂
It will be time to start thinking of new songs for more Duo Sessions soon so we can start recording them for next year, and we appreciate your suggestion. We’ll probably stick to songs that we have not covered yet but god knows what we’ll try!
With everything going on right now we doubt that a tour will be in the cards next year but we’ll have a look at the venue you suggested. We’ve never been to Shrewsbury but it’s something that has been on our list for quite awhile now, it’s such a beautiful town.
Greetings to there and have a lovely evening!

Thanks Bill!!!
I’m glad that’s what you think. I believe the sort of “synchronicity” you mean comes from all the things you mentioned. Us being twins, playing together and knowing each other for such a long time.We’ve been growing, changing and developing as musicians (and people) together for such a long time and pretty much know each other’s ins and outs to a T. It helps a lot when it comes to actually sitting down and making music together, I believe. I don’t think it’s everything or that you can’t make amazing music with people you don’t know as well but it speeds up the progress and allows us to be honest and smarter about the artistic decisions we make.
It’s good to have a (music) buddy with you through thick and thin 🙂
Thanks for letting our music be part of your life ♥ -
Haha, good question!
But actually no, not really. I think we still manage to keep a pretty private life, all things considered, and if we want to share parts of what we do with the world, it’s always because we really want to. And we’re glad that people care 🙂While our music will always be the uttermost important thing, we like creating an environment and “microcosm” to go along with it.
Pictures and video are our favourite way of doing that as long as you let me brush my hair and change out of my PJs first 🙂 -
Thanks Rick!
Yes, playing that song as a duo is a blast 🙂 When we performed it at the Steve Harley gig I believe we did a similar arrangement but that was a few years ago so I couldn’t say for sure. Our set-up in the studio definitely made it easier to pack a lot of detail into the duo session version. Imitating the choir, figuring out all the guitar licks again … it was a fun project and I’m glad you liked it 🙂 … including the intentionally chosen outfits! -
Albert isn’t just a world-class musician, he’s also one of the most humble guys we ever met. Opening a show for him was such an honour and to get to see him and Hogan’s Heroes playing up a storm is something we’ll never forget.
His fluid, melodic solo-ing and hybrid picking is what guitarists’ dreams are made of 🙂
Love the clips you chose. He’s known for being the amazing guitarist he is but I also love his singing. He’s got so much ease in his voice! Top guy!

Wow, that’s beautifully painted, thanks for sharing it with us!
There’s nothing better than art inspiring art inspiring art inspiring art 🙂 The more there is on this planet the better!
Peace & Love! -
Hi Rob!
At the moment it’s so hard to say for sure what the future will hold. Of course we’d love to travel more and play shows around the globe. We’ve never been to the Netherlands so that’s definitely on our bucket list.The world currently seems upside down but we’ll reassess future plans once we have a better idea of how the global situation will develop 🙂 We hope we’ll get to play a real live show for you one day!

Aww, thanks Lynn!
We have offered to sign all CDs for MLT Club members so it’s our pleasure to take the time to do that. Thanks for getting our music in addition to the membership and for supporting us on this endeavour!YESSSS for starting to learn the Ukulele! Keep us up-to date on your progress, we’d love to hear a cover of “I Don’t Know Birds That Well” one day 😛

Oh wow, that was impeccable! The “It’s Too Late” arrangement was especially dreamy! He’s got himself a new subscriber 🙂
The Lady Madonna arrangement reminded us of Tommy Emmanuel’s Beatles Medley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPkQn5nDTZs
Thanks for sharing!

The longest we ever worked on a song was probably on something off of our debut album “When We’re Together” … Maybe “Nothing Is In Vain”. The better we became as musicians and the more experienced we became in the studio the faster we could get our ideas onto record.
That being said, songs like “Once Upon A Time” or “It’s Alright” from ORANGE also took a fair amount of time but that’s because we had changed the arrangements for what felt like a gazillion times 🙂
Many of our cover songs or originals like “Count On Me” or “In It For Love” took us a lot less time as the arrangement and instrumentation was less elaborate.

Thanks Brian,
You have no idea how much we’d love to share some new music with you. We had every intention of releasing a new original album this year but with all the curveballs 2020 has thrown at us, we’ll unfortunately have to delay it to 2021 🙁
But we do have some other things to share with you in the meantime that we hope will bridge the gap a little bit.
We’ll announce it in the Club soon 🙂
-
Ohhh, we feel honored 🙂
What a great team effort, this rocks! Thanks for choosing the song and for introducing it to your friends. Love how you’re able to continue jamming over the internet.
And of course also thanks for what you said about us in the beginning of the video. The whole Wagner family sends greetings back to you ♥
