Ninebarrow Supported by Peter and Jane
Ninebarrow are a multi-award-winning folk duo, who are impressing audiences across the country with their innovative and captivating take on the folk tradition. Described by Mark Radcliffe as sounding like ‘two halves of one voice’, by Seth Lakeman as ‘a fantastic duo’ and by Kate Rusby as ‘absolutely amazing’, Jon Whitley and Jay LaBouchardiere combine breath taking vocal harmonies and melodies, delivering songs that are inspired and rooted in the landscape and history of the British Isles. Nominated in the 2017 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Best Emerging Artist and most recently picking up Best Duo in the Folking.com awards 2019, their latest album, ‘A Pocket Full of Acorns’ (released in March 2021) was released to wide-spread critical acclaim including coverage on BBC1’s Countryfile and BBC Radio 4’s ‘Front Row’.
To open the evening, we will have a set from Peter and Jane, a folk duo from Suffolk, playing traditional and original songs and tunes on a range of instruments including guitar, banjo, flute, whistles and small pipes. Whether playing Scottish airs, Irish jigs and reels, or singing bluegrass favourites, traditional ballads or one of their own songs Peter and Jane entertain audiences with lively and varied performances that centre around close harmony between their instruments and voices.
Doors open at 19:00, music starts at 19:30.
