Move Over Beyonce: Introducing the Leedham Sisters, Busking on Hvar



With a British prince jumping into a swimming pool in a Hvar nightclub, and music legends Boy George, Beyonce and Craig David deciding to holiday here, it has been easy to miss one of the best sounds on the islands this summer, the Leedham sisters.

Hattie and Maddy Leedham, whose family own a holiday home on Hvar, have spent the summer performing an excellent set with an acoustic guitar on the streets of Jelsa, Stari Grad and beyond.




So good are they in fact, that they have had repeat gigs in top Stari Grad restaurant, Stari Mlin, as well as a concert in Hotel Delphin in Hvar Town. They were to be seen busking on many evenings in August, to the obvious delight of locals and tourists alike. So impressive were they that they even managed to obtain an official permit to perform in Hvar Town's main square.

The above clip is the first recorded piece available, filmed in Jelsa. The girls will be back later in the year and again next summer for an extended stay, so restauranteurs, bars and cafes, get your requests in early - these ladies are going to be huge!
