KIT HAWES and AARON CATLOW

After a storming gig, just over a year ago, we couldn't wait to get these two back at The Black Swan Folk Club. They are simply one of the most exciting duos to emerge from the UK in recent times, and they combine heartfelt musicality, unparalleled virtuosity and vocal harmony. Using the folk music of the British Isles as a catalyst, Kit and Aaron create dynamic and effervescent interpretations of centuries-old material as well as original songs and compositions, all the while celebrating the timeless aural quality of a guitar, fiddle and vocals duet. BBC 2's Mark Radcliffe is a champion of their work, saying Kit and Aaron are 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.
