Description

Based in the South West of England, David Mitchell and Graham Vincent bring traditional and contemporary styles on fiddle and guitar to folk tunes and songs from around the British Isles, as well as original material drawing on the folk traditions, using varied arrangements to create stories with their tune sets as well as songs. Both Graham and David are also trained luthiers and play instruments hand-crafted by themselves.

After first meeting in a ceilidh band, they decided to form a duo and since then have gone on to perform concerts around the UK (including festivals such as Glastonbury, Broadstairs, Oxford, Lyme Regis and Beverley) as well as supporting renowned musicians including Ralph McTell. Wizz Jones, Kate Rusby, Tim Edey, Jackie Oates and Damien O?Kane.

Acoustic magazine praised their playing as, ?Stunning?; FATEA said, ?Music that is beautifully played?; while Bright Young Folk described their performance thus; " Their sound is much deeper and richer than you would expect from an acoustic duo. Intricate instrumentalism and pulsing rhythms abound ... providing skilled arrangements and expert delivery of tunes and songs which showcase the vibrancy and variety of folk music across Britain. A thoroughly engaging and enjoyable experience.?

?Without doubt an extremely accomplished and entertaining duo. Definitely a must see!? ~ C. Deacon, Bridport Folk Festival Director

?Mitchell and Vincent were completely amazing. Such expression and dynamics in their playing whilst still staying tight as a duo and the songs were so deftly and beautifully delivered. I was spellbound.? ~ K. King at Readifolk Club
