        Martyn is one of the finest singers in the folk world, & a skilful guitarist. Iris is an inspired & sensitive accompanist, soloist & tutor on duet concertina & accordion. They have worked together for many years, specialising in British & Australian songs, settings of Henry Lawson poems, & also the songs of Graeme Miles.
