Event information

Big Ginger Tom Music will celebrate their 40th gig at Harwell Village Hall and 6th Birthday by bringing back (for the fourth time) the artist who started it all off, the wonderful Gilmore & Roberts.

In August 2017 Duncan & Vanessa Chappell ran their first ever gig in what was then a newly refurbished Village Hall when they tempted Gilmore & Roberts down to Harwell to do a warm up gig before they appeared at Towersey that weekend. The rest, as they say, is history.

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) met while studying at Leeds College of Music and released their debut album in 2008.

Since then, the duo have toured Canada and mainland Europe, played some of the UK’s biggest acoustic festivals, toured with folk rock legends Fairport Convention and won countless accolades for their genre-spanning work. Gilmore & Roberts are set to release their sixth studio album, a long-awaited follow up to 2018’s ‘A Problem Of Our Kind’, in 2023.

Support will be from someone equally familiar to Harwell audiences, Anna Renae.

Music and bar 7pm, music at 7:40pm
