The Royal Command Performance by HUCKY & HARVEY “... the amazing two man orchestra” was initiated by Her Majesty the Queen. To be invited to play this prestigious concert was indeed most exciting for the internationally acclaimed duet and the artists feel tremendously honoured that Her Majesty graciously presided over the event.

Besides their ever electrifying repertoire, HUCKY and HARVEY had prepared a very special program for this outstanding event which included their own arrangements of the music by His Majesty the King, some of Her Majesty the Queen’s most favourite themes and, for the very first time LIVE, Richard Harvey’s highly acclaimed SURIYOTHAI SUITE from the epic movie, the instrumental compilation of the SURIYOTHAI soundtrack including the popular title hit song NOW & FOREVER with Hucky Eichelmann taking the lead line with his guitar. Richard HARVEY is the celebrated composer of the SURIYOTHAI Soundtrack and many other internationally acclaimed film scores.

Also included in the program were some very exciting arrangements of mediaeval dances, arrangements of popular Asian melodies, pulsating Latin numbers, Stanley Myer’s Hit song CAVATINA, mindboggling I-san tunes, swinging Ragtimes and a selection of absolutely thrilling Irish Evergreens. On top of that there were, of course, some most astonishing solos of both, richard HARVEY and HUCKY eichelmann.

To make this truly exciting program an even more verified feast of variety and quality, special guest Privy Counsillor Rear Admiral M.L. Usni Pramoj & members of the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra joined HUCKY & HARVEY with their string quintet plus a wide range of percussion during more than half of the program.
