Duende is a new cabaret the duo wrote and performed together, with Natascha C behind the microphone and Williams on piano. Guests were welcomed with chocolate truffles and sherry at her home on Thursday and Friday evening, and spent it socialising and feasting from their picnic baskets after the hour-long performance.
