5/5 from 287 reviews
Photo of nofing nofing "We just had a lovely evening listening to Nofing, with songs from artists as varied as Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the Beatles, Eurythmics, Ace of Base and even a really clever version of Down Under by Men at Work. Great evening of song memories, two wonderful voices, and some expert guitar playing. Would happily buy a CD and watch again. Merci Nofing!"
