Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman
Doors 7:30 Start 8:00pm
Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman have long established themselves
as one of British folk music’s most rewardingly enduring partnerships.
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 & Sean Lakeman have entwined their professional and personal relationship into an enviable class act of imaginative songwriting and musicianship.
The Dartmoor-based husband and wife have twice won the coveted 'Best Duo' title at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, as well as ‘Best Duo’ at the Folking.com awards and Spiral Earth awards. They consistently deliver assured, distinctive performances whether live or recorded. In three 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.

“ * * * * * - Contemporary protest meets trad vignettes - a fine feather for the cap of the Lakeman musical dynasty”. - Daily Mirror -
With a story that includes 30 years of music making with the likes of Seth Lakeman, Cara Dillon, Levellers, Fotheringay, Kate Rusby and Show of Hands, Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman have consolidated themselves as pillars of modern British folk.
