Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow

Tickets £15 / £14 concsDoors 7.30pm, show 8pm For over a decade, Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow have been a distinctive and powerful presence on the UK folk scene, forging a partnership defined by deep musical connection, exceptional instrumental skill and rich vocal harmony. Rooted in the traditional music of the British Isles, their work breathes new life into centuries-old melodies – including songs collected in Somerset – while sitting seamlessly alongside original material inspired by the landscape and stories of the Southwest. At the heart of their sound is a timeless and intimate combination of guitar, fiddle and voices, delivered with energy, sensitivity and flair. Their studio albums The Fox (2016) and Pill Pilots (2019) received widespread critical praise, earning five-star reviews and local and national radio airplay. The duo have toured extensively throughout the UK and across Europe, including Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Long-time BBC Radio 2 broadcaster Mark Radcliffe has been a vocal supporter, describing them as "reminiscent of the late Dave Swarbrick and Martin Carthy… I can give them no higher accolade. They deserve to be thought of as amongst the best."
