Two of the finest exponents of Traditional Song in the United Kingdom; it is difficult to accept that these relatively young men, have a combined 40+ years experience of performing at Folk venues.
Raised in Norfolk and heavily influenced by such earlier Norfolk singers as Walter Pardon and Peter Bellamy, Damien is a stylish and distinctive singer, either unaccompanied or using guitar or concertina. Although he has lived for a number of years in West Yorkshire he retains a strong East Anglian identity.
Mike Wilson is the youngest member of the Wilson Family, the powerful Teesside singing siblings who have raised the rafters at many a festival or folk club event. His musical heritage is emphatically that of the North East – rural and industrial folk song both traditional and modern.

A rare opportunity to see this brother sister
duo playing songs from the pen of their much celebrated mother Lal
Waterson and their own music written much within the family style as well
as traditional songs learned at the kitchen table over the years in that
most musical and treasured of famillies.
Plus
superb elecronica folk artist and composer Kelly Andrews performing as
"You Are Wolf". She loops and phases her take on some
grand old classic folk songs.
