The Grove Performing Arts Centre, Oswestry, SY11 2TL
Sunday 14th March 2027 8:00PM
Lights Out Events are delighted to start off the 2027 Wilfred Owen Festival with one of the best Folk Music duo's around on the British folk scene.
Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman have long established themselves as one of British folk music’s most rewardingly enduring partnerships. Duos come and duos go... and some nurture and fine tune their art and watch it grow into something totally original, captivating and award-winning. Bonded by an unseen alchemy, Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman have entwined their professional and personal relationship into an enviable class act of imaginative songwriting and musicianship.
The Dartmoor-based husband and wife have twice won the coveted 'Best Duo' title at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, as well as ‘Best Duo’ at the Folking.com awards and Spiral Earth awards. They consistently deliver assured, distinctive performances whether live or recorded. In three decades of performance they have never been trapped in a groove – always bold and innovative, mixing traditional song arrangements with their self-penned material which reels from the bitter to the sweet, the wry to the sad, the political to the passive.
“Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman sit at the high table of contemporary song-writing and musicianship,the couple’s intimacy & strength of passion on stage have won them many fans and an enviable reputation as ‘Songwriters par excellence’ With a story that includes over 30 years of music making with the likes of Seth Lakeman, Cara Dillon, Levellers, Fotheringay, Kate Rusby and Show of Hands, Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman have consolidated themselves as pillars of modern British folk. 'An absolute masterclass in how to do it right'
