Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamaki are collectively known the world over as Above and Beyond.<\/p>\n

The grammy nominated act has dominated the electronic music scene, playing sell out concerts across the globe, in venues such as the Albert Hall, the O2 Arena, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Sydney Opera House.<\/p>\n

When the band announced in 2016 that they would be giving up dance music and going acoustic the music industry held its breathe. Was this a risk worth taking? Had the boys lost their way?<\/p>\n

Not since Dylan gave up acoustic in 1966 and went electric has such a change in direction been attempted. Unlike Dylan, Above and Beyond went the opposite way, giving up electric for acoustic, and on the evidence of audience reaction, you\u2019d have to say the lads have pulled it off.<\/p>\n
