Event information

Both Brooks Williams and Dan Walsh have each appeared at the Black Swan Folk Club in a solo capacity. Now they team up in a new duo which is bound to magnify their amazing talents
Admired by both listeners and fellow musicians alike, Brooks and
Dan combine for an extraordinary collaboration of British and
Americana roots music.
Each is a leading light on their respective instruments and they both bring
buckets of charisma to the stage. Add to that poignant songs and
lively humour and the result is a truly remarkable duet.
Brooks Williams plays guitar with ‘melodic virtuosity’ (IRISH NEWS),
effortlessly combining old-time fingerpicking, country flat picking and bluesy
backbeats. He’s rated one of the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists and is ‘quite
simply one of the most unassuming, natural performers on the
circuit’ (FATEA).
BBC Folk Awards ‘Best Musician’ nominee Dan Walsh plays British, Irish
and American folk music. His ‘virtuoso playing’ (MORNING STAR) features a
unique and dazzling take on clawhammer style banjo helping to challenge all
preconceptions about the instrument. ‘Absolutely terrific’ (Mark
Radcliffe, BBC RADIO 2)
