Wednesday 13th March - Geoge Sansome & Matt Quinn - In an exciting new collaboration between two leading lights of their generation of folk musicians, George Sansome and Matt Quinn sing traditional folk songs from the British Isles, both unaccompanied and accompanied by mandolin and guitar. Their well-blended voices and close harmonies create a warm, enthralling sound and their English folk instrumental styles complement each other perfectly. Matt is known for his solo work, focusing on traditional songs from Sussex, and is a skilled performer with a distinctive voice and sprightly mandolin style. George, who also performs solo, is a deft guitarist with a rich, sweet voice.
