The first end of their tour brings them to Ocelotshire’s neck of the woods, for a show at Wiltshire’s Music Centre October 29.
Their combination of outstanding vocal work, sensitive instrumentation, and a powerful social conscience has brought them widespread critical acclaim.
The Guardian commented: “To be a great folk singer, you have to be a great storyteller, as Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith are clearly aware. The duo are both fine singers and multi-instrumentalists.”
They have performed on the mainstages of many of the UK’s music festivals (including Sidmouth, Warwick, and Broadstairs) and their music has had national radio-play (including the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show and the Mike Harding Folk Show).
The songs themselves are always given centre stage but they are brought to life with stunning musical arrangements and vocals. There is an integrity that shines through their performances and a common thread of political struggle, resistance, and justice.
Their critically acclaimed second album ‘Night Hours’ was released in December 2016 on Fellside Recordings. Described as ‘exhilaratingly diverse and full of impeccably crafted songs’, it has cemented the duo’s reputation as two of the most exciting musicians and social commentators on the scene.
Th Observer added: “Making common cause between antique songs and present circumstances is one of the grails of modern folk, one this young duo pull off impressively…Rousing stuff.”
