Description
Contemporary folk/acoustic duo Gilmore & Roberts combine award-winning songwriting with astounding musicianship and their trademark harmonies to create a powerful wall of sound.
Nominated three times at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Katriona Gilmore (fiddle, mandolin) and Jamie Roberts (guitar) have toured Canada and mainland Europe, played some of the UK?s biggest acoustic festivals and toured with folk rock legends Fairport Convention, all the while carving out a loyal following across the UK.
Gilmore & Roberts will celebrate two decades of music in 2026 with an album of newly recorded career highlights in ?pure duo format?, confirming their place on the UK folk roots scene as purveyors of "music to make you dance, cry and think?a masterclass in songwriting" (Folk Radio UK) since 2006.
"Gilmore & Roberts take English folk and scuff it up with indie rock drama" (Q Magazine).
"Head and shoulders above their contemporaries" (Rockin? Magpie).
"Capable of making you dance, cry and think...a masterclass in songwriting and a lesson in how to present songs" (FOLK RADIO UK).
