About this Event
Come down for a classic Cumberland Arms night of folk music with two of the folk scenes most anticipated up and coming acts.
Holly Clarke & George Sansome
A dynamic new duo of two talented musicians, a must-see act for folk music lovers.
After their initial collaboration as part of Queer Folk, Holly Clarke and George Sansome found their musical chemistry to be undeniable. Their shared passion for traditional songs and their remarkable stage presence quickly became apparent to those who had witnessed their first performance, that this was a duo in the making.
As they pick their way through some of their favorite traditional songs, Holly Clarke and George Sansome are continually exploring innovative ways to arrange the music between their instruments. Their goal is to create arrangements that not only showcase their individual talents but also highlight the unique synergy and connection they have when playing together.
“Great duos are my favourite musical combination, and this duo is superb.” - James fagan
Lizzy Hardingham
Folk infused singer songwriter Lizzy Hardingham performs songs that "drive straight to the heart, giving audiences a chance for genuine connection and empathy". Hardingham is paving her way as a powerhouse performer with beautifully delivered songs, "her wonderful voice grabbing the listener from the very first note and holding on until the last". Think Joni Mitchell, Sandy Denny and KT Tunstall all wrapped into one.
"One of the most distinctive voices since Sandy Denny." Celtic Music Radio
"It’s been said by more or less anyone that’s ever been anywhere near a Lizzy Hardingham performance, but her vocal power is exhilarating. When she’s opened the vocal floodgates and let the notes flood out, I’m inclined not to care where I end up. I’m along for the ride." At The Barrier
“Gorgeously delivered self penned songs that pip everything else to the post.” Northern Sky (★★★★)
“A voice you could listen to on loop with songs that sing straight to the heart.” Maverick Magazine
