DeSylvaWitt

Life-long pals Nick and Peter have been performing and writing music together for all of their adult lives. The joy, delight and outright self-indulgence has captivated them for a lifetime.

Their current project, DeSylvaWitt, is to digitally release their back catalogue and share their music with anyone who happens to stumble by. Please have a browse below and if you like what you hear, subscribe so we can keep you up-to-date with all of our New Releases.

Betty's Blackbird We lost Nick‘s mum, Betty, last year and part of her legacy was to plant trees in her memory. Just listen, like, and share Betty’s Blackbird to help our fundraising.

The music was inspired by the song of Betty’s favourite blackbird that used to sing in her garden, so all credit to ‘Betty’s Blackbird’ as our new collaborator!
