Miranda Sykes, Rex Preston

In the space of just a few years, Miranda Sykes and Rex Preston have emerged to become one of the most sought after duos on the English folk and roots scene. The striking combination of the flame headed double bass player and virtuoso mandolin player create music that Folk Roots describe as "A musical partnership made in heaven".

Well known for the last 9 years as a central component of Show of Hands, Miranda has an exquisite and spine-tingling voice, whilst Rex, with his exuberant and flamboyant playing style, has built a reputation as one of the finest mandolin players in the UK. In 2015 the duo embark on an extensive tour of the British Isles as they perform their arresting album Sing A Full Song.
