Went to see Keith Kendrick and Lynne Heraud at our local Folk Club on Friday night. What a cracking evening! I have heard Keith before, singing solo and with various shanty groups, but I had never heard Lynne previously.The publicity mentioned that she is known as the 'Hertfordshire nightingale' - now I know why, she has a stunning voice and it is perfectly complemented by Keith's powerful shantyman voice. Not only was it a great evening but their CD, Stars in my Crown, is a faithful rendition of most of their repertoire. This makes a refreshing change from guest artists who sell CD's that turn out to have a 20 piece orchestra backing them in the studio! Keith & Lynne's singing of Lord Gregory is totally moving and is just as good on the CD as live on the night. If you get a chance to see this duo, don't miss it! And no, they haven't paid me for this plug! (not yet anyway!!)
