Arts Alive are delighted to be bringing one of the most respected and popular British folk acts, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman, to St Leonard’s Church, Yarpole.
Twice winners of the coveted “Best Duo” title at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2016 and 2013, Kathryn and Sean have fine-tuned their art and consistently deliver captivating and distinctive performances, mixing traditional song arrangements with their self-penned material.

The couple’s intimacy and strength of passion on stage have won them many fans and an enviable reputation as ‘songwriters par excellence’- (fRoots), whose greatly varied original songs cover such subjects as wicked mermaids, Norwegian legends, and a lonely whale.

With a story that includes over 25 years of music making with the likes of Seth Lakeman, Cara Dillon, Levellers, Fotheringay, Kate Rusby and Show of Hands, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman have consolidated themselves as pillars of modern British folk.

Join the much-loved husband and wife duo for an informal, inclusive performance in an intimate, rural setting and enjoy folk music at its very best.

“..one of the most assured and entertaining duos on the folk scene.” - fRoots
