Details
Intimate live show featuring two of the brightest stars on the folk music scene. Shona is one of the leading piano accordionists in the country and Damien is an outstanding guitarist and tenor banjo player, as well as being hailed as "one of the finest singers around" by Jon Boden (Bellowhead, Spiers and Boden). They are currently setting the traditional music scene alight at major folk festivals, and were nominated for the 2007 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards prestigious 'Horizon Award'. They are dazzling live and have to be seen to be believed.

"A force to be reckoned with on the folk scene" Fiona Talkington (BBC Radio 3).

Some feedback after their last performance in Southport:
"Absolutely Brilliant"
"The best £7 I've ever spent!"
"A storming success"
