Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman

Date: Friday, 8th April 2016
Time: 7:00 pm

Two of the British folk scenes most accomplished performers, Kathryn and Sean have graced stages the world over in a number of guises, however the intimacy and strength of passion shown as a duo, combined with an eclectic repertoire ensures a rare treat for any listener. Winning ‘Best Folk Duo’ (BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards) and ‘Best Duo’ (Spiral Earth), these are truly an iconic pair.

This husband and wife duo had been absent from the music scene for almost a decade before their highly-acclaimed “Hidden People” CD (2012) was released; Sean busy touring the world with brother Seth’s band whilst Kathryn remained in Devon bringing up the couple’s twin daughters. The Roberts-Lakeman name has become synonymous with “quality” during their musical careers which started when they were signed to a major label as teenagers. Now after nearly two decades in music, Kathryn’s sublime vocals merge seamlessly with Sean’s deft and inventive live guitar work on stage -and his award-winning sonic skills in the studio. In addition to his chart-topping hit records for brother Seth Lakeman, Sean has this year alone produced albums or tracks with The Levellers, Billy Bragg, Frank Turner, Imelda May and Bellowhead… as well as a string of other folk/acoustic acts.
