Acoustic duo Chris and Siobhan
Nelson have been performing music together in a variety of folk
bands for more than 20 years, having first got together when they
were members of 'rogue folk' band Cluster of Nuts in the 1980s. As a duo, they perform songs from a
wide range of sources, both traditional and contemporary,
accompanied on fiddle, tenor guitar, octave mandola or viola, or
sung a capella. They have been getting enthusiastic
feedback everywhere they appear, and they are equally at home in
an intimate, acoustic setting or on the 'big stage'. Having
relocated from the south of England several years ago, Chris and
Siobhan are now based in Southport, Merseyside, where they are
popular members of the team of Resident Singers at the Bothy Folk Club.
Chris and Siobhan's typical live
set includes a good mixture of material, with traditional songs
(mainly, but not exclusively, English) and original arrangements
of songs from a variety of great writers, both familiar and not
so familiar. There are songs to bring a tear to your eye, and
songs to make you smile. You can also expect to hear the
occasional American 'old-timey' song, and a fiddle tune or two.
