Acoustic duo Chris and
Siobhan are currently wowing audiences with their engaging
performances of traditional and contemporary songs, with
accompaniment on fiddle, mandola, tenor guitar or viola, or sung
a cappella. There are songs to bring a tear to your eye and songs
to make you smile - and a fiddle tune or two for good measure.
Chris and Siobhan 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. 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.
