Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman

One of the UK Folk scene's finest duos.

Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman’s 2020 tour “On Reflection” marks 25 years of making music together for this popular wife and husband Folk duo. The pair have long established themselves as one of the UK Folk scene’s most rewarding and refreshing performers. To celebrate and acknowledge their Silver anniversary of performing together, the couple will revisit and reinterpret songs which span their illustrious career. From the early days of folk supergroup “Equation” (with Kate Rusby) through to the current album release “Personae”, with a nod or two along the way to their extra-curricular musical adventures, the evening promises a whistle-stop tour through their artistic journey to date.

Kathryn and Sean are two of the British folk scenes most accomplished performers, and are winners of the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo. They have graced stages the world over in a number of guises, with a number of groups and bands all to popular and critical acclaim. However, their intimacy and strength of passion and supreme musicianship is shown to best effect when they share the stage together – the quality shines through.
