Flying Folk

A fantastic folk evening. Tonight Sian and Rob Colquhoun & Wildwood Jack join Flying Folk host Jemima Farey.

Sian and Rob Colquhoun are an acoustic duo based in the southwest of England. They perform a lively repertoire largely drawn from Old-Time, classic Bluegrass and early country. With close harmonies accompanied on guitar, mandolin, clawhammer banjo, autoharp and harmonica, these dynamic performers are skilled interpreters of songs and tunes calling on a rich tradition encompassing their Scots-Irish roots.

Wildwood Jack are a totally unique acoustic guitar and ukulele duo from Kent. Having sold their home in 2013 to hit the road and tour the world they bring an intimate, heartwarming and adventurous spirit to their music and to audiences wherever they play.
With over a decade of touring and a life lived on the road, their adventures and journeys are richly woven into their songwriting, songs that sparkle with originality and the craft of storytelling. Contemporary folk played with outstanding acoustic guitar and ukulele.
‘This is an accomplished duo. The musicianship is excellent, and the vocal delivery is spot on’ BBC Radio Wales. Their albums Liberty Ship (2018) and Many More Ways Than One (2020) expertly blend folk genres with Americana, bluegrass and world music.

‘Songwriting at its finest, melody-rich, hook infused, lyrically sparkling, instantly attractive and wholly enduring’ Folkwords

The performance starts at 7:30 pm, and doors open at 6:30 pm, with a bar available.
