About GOVARDO

Modern day minstrels performing epic classics.
Acoustic duo
Leeds
Public liability insurance of £10 million

GOVARDO is an acoustic duo comprised of Dom Sky and Jack Rose, who’s musical odyssey began in a sunny village in Goa, India. With their mutual interests in music and the beauty of the natural world they found a common spirituality and from this their musical collaboration GOVARDO was born. They returned to the UK and Europe with a new sound and story to share. “Follow the Sun” became their motto as they drove over 45,000 miles seeking out sunny weather and discovering epic places to play. The unique GOVARDO sound was continually being forged by the experiences, challenges and people they met on the road.  Every winter they escaped to a warm and part of the world to work on new music, and the last such place was an incredibly inspiring village in the mountains of Mexico near Tepoztlán.

Let's start with the beginning. At the time, I was not married to Camille yet. We love music but never before, in our respectives lives, have we stopped to listen to buskers. Before being literally catched by their voices and melodies during a beautiful afternoon in Nice, where we lived in the south of France. Impressed by the hovering and captivating folk of Dom Sky and Jack Rose who formed the group Govardo. Somewhere between Simon and Garfunkel, Passenger and The Lumineers. But with an indescribable singularity (even in their covers) and a vibrant and touching repertoire. Once my marriage proposal was made, I wanted them to perform for this very special day in our lives. Their service, their professionalism, their benevolence and kindness left an unforgettable memory to our guests while filling us with happiness. Dom and Jack, Jack and Dom, whatever the way, are more than great musicians. They are a conveyor of emotions. If you are thinking of them for your project, do not ask yourself any questions, hire them. If you haven't asked yourself the question yet, do it. You won't regret it. Musically and humanly. Vincent French version : Commencons par le commencement. À l'époque, je n'étais pas encore marié avec Camille. Nous adorons la musique mais jamais auparavant, dans nos vies respectives, nous nous étions arrêtés pour écouter des chanteurs des rues. Avant d'être littéralement happés par leurs voies et mélodies lors d'un bel après-midi à Nice, là ou nous vivions dans le sud de la France. Bluffés par le folk planant et enivrant de Dom Sky et Jack Rose qui formaient le groupe Govardo. Quelque part entre Simon and Garfunkel, Passenger et The Lumineers. Mais avec une singularité indescriptible (même dans leurs reprises) et un répertoire vibrant et touchant. Une fois ma demande de mariage faite, j'ai voulu qu'ils performent pour ce jour si particulier de nos vies. Leur prestation, leur professionnalisme, leur bienveillance et gentillesse ont laissé un souvenir impérissable à nos invités tout en nous comblant de bonheur. Dom et Jack, Jack et Dom, peu importe le sens, sont plus que de sacrés musiciens. Ils sont un vecteur d'émotions. Si pour votre projet vous pensez à eux, ne vous posez pas de question, engagez-les. Si vous ne vous posez pas encore la question, faites-le. Vous le regretterez pas. Musicalement et humainement. Vincent
