Join one of the UK’s favourite folk duos, husband and wife Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman for an evening of intimate and friendly songs and stories, based in tradition.
With a simple setup of guitar, piano and vocals, they present an evening of pure emotion, shared experience, and sheer joy in what they do. The duo has entwined their professional and personal relationship over two decades – delivering assured, distinctive performances that are always bold and innovative, mixing traditional song arrangements with their self-penned material which ranges from bitter to sweet, wry to sad, political to passive.
Together they are an enviable class act of imaginative song writing and musicianship, twice winning the coveted ‘Best Duo’ at the BBC Folk Awards (2013 & 2016).
