We've been chatting with the amazing Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman in the lead-up to their gig here this October. Here's what they had to say about introducing non-folk fans to their music:

“We have played to countless non-folkies over the years who have said, ‘I never realised I would like a folk music gig so much!’ We think we are an excellent gateway into the folk scene for people who might like to dip their toe.”

So, if you've never been to a folk gig before, this could be the perfect opportunity to see what all the fuss is about! Catch them live at Newhampton Arts Centre on Friday, 11th October – you might just discover your new favourite genre!
