Sean Lakeman & Kathryn Roberts

Twice winners of BBC Radio2 Folk Awards ‘Best Duo’, the celebrated local folk duo will be performing at St John's Church, Horrabridge in a fundraising concert for the benefit of the Friends of St John’s. Two of the British folk scene’s most accomplished performers, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman have graced stages the world over; however, the intimacy and strength of passion shown as a duo, combined with an eclectic repertoire ensures a rare treat for any listener. With a story that includes over 20 years of music-making with the likes of Seth Lakeman, Cara Dillon, Levellers, Kate Rusby and Show of Hands, Kathryn and Sean have established themselves as pillars of modern British folk. They recently completed a 24-date UK tour following the March release of ‘Personae’, their landmark fifth studio album, described by Rock N Reel as “Another excellent album from a duo right at the top of their game”.
