Gig Preview: Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman + Joe Darby
Friday 23 October – St George’s Hall, Bewdley
Two of British folk’s most enduring and accomplished performers, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman, make a rare visit to Bewdley this October for an evening of outstanding live music.
The Dartmoor-based husband-and-wife duo play St George’s Hall, Bewdley, on Friday 23 October, with Joe Darby providing support.
With more than 30 years of music-making behind them, Roberts and Lakeman have firmly established themselves as one of the leading partnerships in modern British folk. Their musical journey has included work with the likes of Seth Lakeman, Cara Dillon, the Levellers, Fotheringay, Kate Rusby and Show of Hands, while their own partnership has developed into something distinctive and captivating in its own right.
Twice winners of the coveted BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo, they have also picked up Best Duo honours at the Folking.com and Spiral Earth awards.
Whether performing intimate traditional songs or their own beautifully crafted material, Roberts and Lakeman have built a reputation for assured, finely balanced performances – combining Kathryn’s distinctive vocals with Sean’s exceptional musicianship.
A rare opportunity to catch one of the UK’s best-loved folk duos on the Bewdley stage.
