Live at Sam’s and Bright Phoebus all delighted to present John Kirkpatrick and Sue Harris with Benji Kirkpatrick. John & Sue met in 1970, married in 1971, and began making music together as a duo on the English Folk Scene and beyond. In 1973 they moved to Shropshire, and went on to produce four sons (Benji is Number Two), five LPs, and two Morris Teams, and spent time in Dingle’s Chillybom Band, The Albion Country Band, Umps & Dumps, and The Richard Thompson Band. They provided music, song, and dance for numerous plays in the theatre and on radio, but gradually worked together less and less, until a final appearance in 1992. Thirty-two years later they have joined forces again for the occasional gig, usually with Benji, who has been striding out in his own right as a soloist and as a member of Bellowhead, Faustus, and The Seth Lakeman Band. You’ll hear large chunks of their old repertoire, along with a few new compositions and arrangements, and several numbers with all three playing together. This recording was made in October 2024, and a few more gigs are planned for early 2026.
