KATHRYN Roberts and Sean Lakeman are set to play at Hanger Farm on Friday April 27.
Duos come and duos go. And some nurture and fine tune their art and watch it grow into something totally original, captivating and award-winning.
Bonded by an unseen alchemy, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman have entwined their professional and personal relationship into an enviable class act of songwriting and musicianship.
The husband and wife have twice won the coveted Best Duo title at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, consistently delivering assured and distinctive performances, whether live or recorded.
Over two decades of performance they have never been trapped in a groove – always bold and innovative, mixing traditional song arrangements with their self-penned material which reels from the bitter to the sweet, the wry to the sad, the political to the passive, across folk, rock, country and blues genres.
A deft acoustic and electric guitarist and slick producer, Lakeman’s feted skills are matched by Roberts' exquisite voice and fluid piano and flute playing.
