GILMORE & ROBERTS

2013 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Duo nominees Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts combine astounding lap-tapping guitar, fiery fiddle and their trademark harmonies with considerable songwriting talent to make a truly distinctive sound.

Their excellent début album Shadows & Half Light in was followed by Up From The Deep, which scored them a Hancock Award for ‘Best Original Song’ (Fleetwood Fair). In 2012 Gilmore & Roberts released their finest album to date The Innocent Left. It demonstrates a huge leap forward and showcases the duo’s remarkable scope – folk, bluegrass, country, pop and rock – while maintaining their own distinctive roots in the storytelling tradition. They have toured extensively, including festival performances at - Cambridge Folk Festival and Fairport’s Cropredy Convention.Aside from their work together, both Katriona and Jamie are in high demand as session musicians and have played on several acclaimed albums. Katriona has recently toured with the newly reformed Albion Band, while Jamie has played with young English traditionalists Kerfuffle since 2007.

“Once again this duo refuse to rest on their laurels, never go for the easy option and always strive for something challenging, smart or at least different. They have once again produced a mature album of startling quality.” Maverick 5* Review
