This is the London album launch for Katriona and Jamie's second album "Up From The Deep"

BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award nominees Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts combine astounding lap-tapping guitar, fiery fiddle and their trademark harmonies with considerable songwriting talent to make a truly distinctive sound. Since releasing their début album 'Shadows & Half Light' in 2008 (proclaimed 'one of the finest contemporary folk albums in recent memory' by FishRecords.co.uk), Gilmore and Roberts have been wowing audiences across the country with their unassumingly confident displays of instrumental technique. 2010 saw the duo complete a nationwide tour in their own right, land the coveted opening slot on Fairport Convention's 2011 Winter Tour, and release their much-anticipated second album, 'Up From The Deep'.
The new album is a major creative leap forward - self-produced, mixed by Andy Bell and mastered by Megson's Stu Hanna, 'Up From The Deep' is fresh and innovative yet deeply rooted in tradition.
"Although most of the material is original, there's a lot of traditional influence in our own songs, and in the choice of subjects." Katriona explains. "This album is really about solidifying our style - many people have said we make a much bigger sound than you'd expect from two people." Indeed they do and, with 'Up From The Deep', they are about to make an even bigger impression on both fans and the media alike.
Aside from their work together, both Katriona and Jamie are familiar faces on the folk circuit - Katriona toured for 3 years with all-girl indie folk sensations Tiny Tin Lady and now appears regularly with Rosie Doonan's Snapdragons, while Jamie has played with young English traditionalists Kerfuffle since 2007.

"A fresh and promising young duo... right up on the crest of the new acoustic wave. Check these guys out......now!" - Seth Lakeman

'An exceptional young duo...Katriona and Jamie are at times energetic, at times atmospheric, and always inventive. This is music which I would happily recommend to anyone' - Ric Sanders, Fairport

Didn't miss 'em....and they were great.

On a monthlong tour with Fairport Convention after Christmas so plenty of opportunities to catch them again
