Event created by Dulwich Folk
We know about Ian and Sarah as they are Dulwich Folk residents. We know they will deliver a great night of (mostly) harmony singing. If you like folk songs brilliantly sung this is the place to be. Ian and Sarah came late to performing but they've made up for lost time. As well as many of our most loved traditional songs expect some surprises!
Singing together didn’t occur to Sarah and Ian until they got involved in the South East London folk scene about 12 years ago, having spent most of their lives making a wide range of music including classical orchestras and church choirs, Javanese Gamelan and classical Thai music. Although they had loved folk music for many years, it was hearing local singers at singarounds that inspired them to take part themselves, singing solo and in harmony.
Ian and Sarah have a repertoire of mostly traditional and mostly unaccompanied English folk songs, initially drawn from the singing of Martin Carthy, Fay Hield, and the Silly Sisters. Having grown up in West Wales, Sarah will sometimes sing a Welsh song. They also play fiddle, whistle, bodhran, concertina and cello and occasionally accompany their singing.
As well as being residents at Dulwich Folk Club, Sarah and Ian are regularly at The Goose is Out! where they have supported guest artists, most recently The Eliza Carthy Trio, and Nancy Kerr and James Fagan. . As a duo they have performed at numerous mostly local events including Bermondsey Folk Festival. With others they have sung and played in folk clubs, libraries, book shops, cemeteries, woodlands and on boats.
Entrance is £10
