The Miserable Rich are a Brighton-born duo famed for their intimate, strings-led chamber-pop. Formed in 2007 by James de Malplaquet and Will Calderbank, the pair blend cello and violin with warm, cinematic arrangements. Over the years, they’ve built a dedicated following with thoughtful songwriting and engaging live performances. Their work has drawn critical recognition from BBC 6 Music and DJ Magazine, and they remain active performers with fresh material and European tours on the horizon.
