Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick first joined up in early spring 1966 as a performing unit. They were an immediate hit, becoming overnight the most popular group in the burgeoning folk club scene in Britain.

A startlingly intense reunion from this legendary, ground-breaking duo. All the old skills are demonstrated with a new collection of traditional songs and instrumentals.

Their experienced approach to their art lacks none of the fervour of their early days, and brings a maturity born of many years living with the music that is an integral part of their beings.

• "Intense and demanding, this is hard core traditional music. Sublime fiddle playing and the passionate delivery of evocative old songs by their ablest interpretor." - Daily Telegraph.

Legendary banjois/singertClive Palmer and his new five piece band which was formed to launch the new Palmer biography. Expect a mixture of old and new songs.

All seated unreserved £16
