Bounder & Cad's parody music video ‘The Prince Harry Rap’ was featured in -
The unlikely love-children of college choirs and the Cambridge Footlights, Adam Drew and Guy Hayward formed a Rat Pack act to blag tickets to May Balls. They then started performing Drew's comedic lyrics – which begat their post-choral satirical-croon duo, Bounder & Cad. An unlikely London debut followed, at the 10 Downing St Christmas party (where their 'Me And My Shadow' parody was vetoed - but performed nonetheless).
Since then, they've sung in a rainstorm on Barbados's Cobblers Cove; atop the Alps of Courchevel; on the tables of the Palazzo Corsini; aboard the Onassis yacht Christina O; in the library at Highclere (‘Downton Abbey’); and they recently warmed up the stage for an iconic 90s boyband, at the legendary Basil’s Bar in Mustique.
Their two commissions for BBC Radio 4Xtra made Pick Of The Year, and a TV series has been rumoured...
Catch their monthly show at Piccadilly's Crazy Coqs Club, or have them at your party.
