The duo married in September 2008. To date Tinderbox have produced five studio albums and one live album. Tom Robinson's feature of the 2010 track 'The State of Play' on BBC Radio 6 Music boosted the duo's popularity when he described their music as 'Gorgeous'.〔Tom Robinson Introducing - Broadcast June 21st 2009〕 In May that year the duo played a successful tour of the US and a few months later they picked up an award for 'Best International Group' in Cáceres, Spain.
