Geoff Lakeman & Rob Murch

Geoff Lakeman, patriarch of a folk dynasty as dad of Seth,Sean and Sam and father-in-law of Cara Dillon and Kathryn Roberts teases English and Irish folk, Americana and jazz songs out of his vintage duet concertina. After 50 years as a journalist music-loving Geoff recorded his debut CD ,After All These Years at the age of 69, which garnered four and five-star reviews and national radio airplay. He's acclaimed for his masterful playing of the rare Crane duet concertina and his rich, melodic voice.

Rob Murch brings the wow factor to the banjo, with his unique,punchy fingerstyle playing. Rob's percussive finger-ballet up and down the fret board of his 100 year-old instrument is mesmerising.He's revered throughout the UK for his long-time work with the renowned Dartmoor Pixie Band and The Watch trio.

Both live on Dartmoor, so it was inevitable they'd gang-up musically. Expect self-written and West Country songs, rattling folk tunes and foot-stomping ragtime and cakewalk riffs. The duo's relaxed yet sparkling stage presence together is bubbling with the feel-good factor.
