Isobel and Jim Kimberley achieve what some may say is impossible, a genuinely new take on traditional folk music, which is nevertheless accessible to everyone. If you are a folk fan of old it is fair to say you will recognize a good part of their repertoire, but if not, you will enjoy the freshness and vitality of their performance. Isobel’s open tuned guitar provides a firm base for Jim’s various instruments and their always inventive vocals. Their take on ‘Hard Times of Old England’ is both poignant and contemporary, and their subtle changes to the melody make it even more so. They know and genuinely love their music and treat it with the utmost respect while still giving it new life
“Isobel and Jim Kimberley have justly gained a reputation for genre defying performances which
couple intelligent and thought provoking lyrics with top notch musicianship.” FATEA Magazine
“I’ve been involved in folk clubs since the early 1950’s, I’m in my 90’s and I have never enjoyed a
night of folk music as much as I have enjoyed this night.” Walthamstow Folk Club
"
"Just excellent." Islington Folk Club
“A completely fresh approach... Highly original... I love it.” Mike Norris (former EFDSS Chair)
