About the show

This virtuosic duo comprises of award-winning UK folk artists Will Pound (harmonica /melodeon) and Jenn Butterworth (guitar / song), and formed as the result of a chance meeting at a folk session in 2018 which led to their music travelling around the world as a viral internet sensation.


Their roots lie in the English and Scottish folk music traditions, but they draw on inspiration from blues, gypsy jazz and folk traditions across the globe. In their live shows, they play a game of ‘musical cat and mouse’; improvising and responding to each other, weaving virtuosic performances that are unique and in-the-moment as only two musicians highly accomplished in their craft can produce.
