BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winners take their tour to Didcot

Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman bring their tour to Didcot’s Cornerstone Arts October 13 in support of their new 8 track EP Saved For A Rainy Day.

2016 saw Kathryn and Sean again voted ‘Best Duo’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and later in the year the pair headed to India and Spain for shows.

Now firmly established as one of the folk-scene’s busiest and most respected duos, the husband and wife team have been on the road since March to preview new material that will feature on their next full album.

MOJO said: “As a guitarist, producer and co-songwriter, Sean Lakeman is one of the unsung heroes of modern British folk’.

Now twice recent winners of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo - 2016 & 2013 - the couple’s intimacy and strength of passion on stage have won them many fans and an enviable reputation whose greatly varied original songs cover such subjects as wicked mermaids, Norwegian legends, and a lonely whale.

Billboard Magazine said: “Kathryn Roberts smoky, assertive vocals are a tasty feast for listeners craving music that requires a sharp mind and an open heart.”
