Band success
BAND SUCCESS
Sydney duo PNAU -“ Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes -“ is fast notching up some mighty acclaim as one of the year’s best. The latest member of team PNAU is none other than Sir Elton John, who last year invited the duo for tea at his luxury city hotel. He found the record as a music fan and was stunned with what he heard. Sir Elton has offered his enthusiasm and massive influence to help establish the band in anyway. Details: www.pnaupnau.com.
