BBC Radio 2 award winning Duo at the Atkinson
JOSIENNE Clarke and Ben Walker the 2015
BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winners for 'Best Duo' appear at The
Atkinson on Friday 10 July.
The couple infuse ageless stories of love and loss with their exquisite command
of many instruments. Whether interpreting words centuries old or singing her own
authentic lyrics, Josienne's jewel-like voice finds the nuance in the simplest
phrase and sends it, effortlessly, straight to your heart. Ben's musical tact
and flair for arrangement provide the perfect setting, allowing the song centre
stage.
After meeting in July 2009 they have forged their own path through traditional
music. The live performance is a thing of delight; enchanted reviewers have
spoken of shimmering cathedrals of sound; and its purity will stay with you long
after the last note fades.
Critical recognition soon followed, along with the Isambard Folk Award, and the
FATEA Award for Best Album and Female Vocalist of the Year, and the Spiral Award
for Best Duo.
In 2013 their debut release on Navigator Records, 'Fire and Fortune',
reached No.1 on the Amazon folk chart within three months, garnered rave reviews
and a constellation of stars across the board, and brought them coveted BBC
Radio 2 Folk Award nominations for Best Newcomers and Best Duo in 2014.
Their new album Nothing Can Bring Back the Hour was one of the most anticipated
releases of 2014 and reviews have been outstanding.
