"We haven't fallen out with each other. The respect we feel for each other as people and musicians is unchanged. However, at the start we promised each other that we will do this band as long as it motivates and inspires us both and we feel there is room to improve. Now the moment has come that we felt it would be good to test ourselves on new paths and directions, with new fellow musicians," says Jamie Winchester, who made Hungary his adoptive home in the late 80s.

 
Jamie Winchester and Róbert Hrutka will play a farewell tour at venues around Hungary in the autumn. A big concert intended to sum up the last eight years of co-operation is slated for November 28, at the Millenáris.
 

Jamie Winchester and Róbert Hrutka have recorded four studio albums and a live double CD-DVD. They have received a number of awards, both as a duo and separately. They include the Artisjus award, the Golden Arrow award and the Emerton award. Three years ago, the duo set up their own record label called Last One Out Records, which launched debut albums by Anikó Für and Vera Schmidt.
