Their story

Rachel and Peter are a married couple who (amazingly) love working together. They met at sixth form college, age sixteen, in the North West of England, where they sang in the same choirs, played in the same bands and appeared in the same theatre shows — but didn't get together until after they went to Drama School.

They trained at two of the most prestigious drama schools in the world: Rachel studied acting at Guildford School of Acting, and Peter studied acting at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. After graduating, they both worked extensively in theatre around the UK and Europe, appearing in the West End and in shows and theatres including Les Misérables, The Crucible, The Recruiting Officer and A Midsummer Night's Dream, at venues including the London Palladium, the Royal Albert Hall, the Barbican, the Donmar Warehouse and the Theatre Royal Bath.

It took them three years to realise they should be performing together, and that they loved travelling the world as a team. Since then, they've never looked back — continuing to travel, meet interesting people, and perform in new places, including a decade onboard the world's most exclusive cruise ships.

The performers

Two actors, singers and multi-instrumentalists

Rachel Manchester

Vocals, flute, woodwinds

After graduating from Guildford School of Acting, Rachel performed in a vast amount of classical theatre including Sense and Sensibility and The Crucible, at the Theatre Royal Bath and in Stratford-upon-Avon, in Casanova in Venice, and on a UK tour of The Snow Queen. She has been singing for many years and has worked for a decade alongside Peter as a professional entertainer. She is inherently musical and has played the flute since she was very young, took up the saxophone at a later age, and now even plays wind synth.

Peter Manchester

Vocals, guitars, keys

Following graduation from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Peter went on to work in Les Misérables in the West End and on tour, and in many more musicals including 20th Century Boy and Mods and Rox, in plays including A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Recruiting Officer at venues including the Donmar Warehouse and the London Palladium for the Royal Variety Show, the Classic Music Awards and the Royal Albert Hall. Peter is a self-taught guitarist, picking up his first guitar at age four, followed shortly by double bass, piano and various other stringed instruments — he's been singing since he was a youngster.
