John Tams and Barry Coope use a guitar and a keyboard. They are excellent, as anyone who has heard them will be able to attest.

I play regularly with a piano player, who uses a digital piano, and he too is excellent.

The 'drawing room' type stuff with the posh voices and the evening dress is about as far away from my idea of the music as can be.

So aye, they can be marvellous, or they can be twee. Depends who's playing it.
