The pair have recorded many highly acclaimed albums in their thirty years together including two ‘Best of’ collections. In March 2023 they recorded along with the Transatlantic Sessions with Eric Clapton at Abbey Road studios.

Aly launched the popular BBC TV series ‘Transatlantic Sessions’ in which he and Phil appear, including its live shows, and has featured on recording by the likes of Eddi Reader and Richard Thompson.

PHIL CUNNINGHAM is a world famous accordion player and composer and was nominated in 1996 by The Scotsman as one of ‘Scotland's most influential people’. In recent years Phil's work-load has included many commissions for TV and film and an increasing amount of work as musical director for television and theatrical events. His ‘Highlands and Islands Suite’ and other collaborations have been a highlight of Glasgow’s Celtic Connections Festivals. In 2002 Phil received an MBE for his contribution to Scottish music.  His musical documentaries are regularly seen on TV screens invariably involving his passion for the accordion. He has produced and recorded with top musicians including James Taylor, Rosanne Cash,  Midge Ure and Mark Knopfler.
