What they say…

●’Sweet and earthy! A warm, nostalgic blend of Julie’s songs from between the wars and Gavin’s English traditional songs and tunes on duet concertina and melodeon. Julie’s fine, clear voice is shown off by swing-style chords on the Jeffries.
‘Gavin’s singing is sometimes humorous, sometimes thoughtful, and always has an authentic traditional ring’ – Valmai Goodyear, Lewes Saturday Folk Club organiser
●’I sang all the way home’ – Dan Quinn, musician and singer
●’An evening unlike any other… songs from the twenties and thirties beautifully sung with a backing of consummate artistry on concertina or melodeon… and then maybe a compelling traditional ballad, or a tribute to the sausage… you never know what to expect, but you can be sure it’s going to be worth listening to’ Bob Kenward, noted singer-songwriter
●[About Gav’s version of The Wild Rover] ‘Your version of that song is the most beautiful I’ve ever heard.’ Jimmy Crowley, renowned Cork balladeer, song collector and songwriter
●’Julie sings songs from diverse backgrounds while Gavin provides great accompaniments on a range of instruments and contributes some excellent singing himself’ Vic Smith, Folk at the Royal Oak, Lewes‘
●’Gavin Atkin sings wonderfully delivered history soaked songs,’ Anna Moulson, Melting Vinyl
