Owen Spafford & Louis Campbell at Cecil Sharp House, London

“Rising stars of the folk scene” (Katie Derham, BBC Radio 3) Owen Spafford and Louis Campbell met as teenagers, as part of the first cohort of the National Youth Folk Ensemble.
As their music has developed, the duo have drifted away from the expectations of an English folk fiddle and guitar duo, with dynamic range, atmosphere and intimacy becoming more present in their own compositions, re-examining what it means to be ‘authentic' as two male, middle-class English folk musicians.
The duo allows Owen and Louis to distill their love of traditional and experimental music into powerful, intricate and intimate performances. They orbit many different sound-worlds; from traditional English dance tunes to chamber music and post-rock.
