“The gig was amazing and they both have fantastic voices and they were very professional and put on an excellent show,” said Darren Hendy, head chef at the café.

He added: “After the first set they both spent time with their fans signing pictures, phone covers, wristbands and coats.”

Tickets for the event sold out within a week and were bought across the country. The café even had messages from fans in America which were willing to fly over, the head chef said.

Darren’s step daughter, Mae Coupar told him she was a big fan so he decided to contact the pair’s parents to ask if they would pay a visit.

“I was surprised they agreed! We caught them at the right time they said. It took more than two months of planning, we had to get the right equipment and plan how to sell the tickets in the best possible way.

Mae got to meet the famous duo before the doors opened to the public.

“She was very excited and had been waiting for two months – I’m sure there are plenty of jealous girls out there right now,” Darren said.

He added: “The evening was a massive success and owner Rachel and her events team did a grand job.
