Henry Parker & David Ian RobertsChasing Light UK Tour
The Sound Lounge proudly present Henry Parker and David Ian Roberts, two rising stars of the UK Folk scene, to The Sound Lounge for a night of exquisite acoustic folk.
Yorkshire and Cardiff based guitarists Henry Parker and David Ian Roberts met in 2019 when their respective folk-influenced albums ‘Silent Spring’ and ‘Travelling Bright’ were finding their way to new audiences via a series of co-headline tours across England and Wales.
A shared appreciation of Nick Drake, Ryley Walker, Genesis and John Martyn naturally led the pair of musicians to sit down, guitars in hand, to improvise and compose during their free time on the road. The result of this collaboration is an album of all-original, steel-string instrumentals which blur the lines between traditional folk, psychedelia, and progressive music, bound by the beautiful simplicity of two acoustic guitars, panned left [Roberts] and right [Parker] in the stereo field.
Henry Parker
“Channelling the ghosts of Jansch and Renbourn through his fingertips, the fluid playing and emotive singing of Yorkshire-born Henry Parker evokes the spirit of the early-60’s folk revival as if it were yesterday.” RnR ★★★★★
“Original material and traditional songs create an immersive and mellifluous world in which both the peace and isolation of nature are unfurled evoked through subtle arrangements” Prog Magazine
David Ian Roberts
“A contemplative and understated classic already…I recommend this record to you unreservedly”.
