Award-winning folk/acoustic duo Gilmore & Roberts are hitting the road for a major headline tour this spring, following the release of their third album ‘The Innocent Left‘ on Navigator Records.
‘The Innocent Left’…is their best work to date demonstrating great songwriting and musicianship, simply brilliant! Folk Radio UK
Ranging from hard-hitting to fragile, encompassing elements of folk, bluegrass and rock, their songs explore many and varied topics but remain consistently bound by the Yorkshire-based pair’s passion for storytelling.
Following rave reviews for ‘The Innocent Left’, 2013 has already delivered a stack of accolades – among them, a nomination for ‘Best Duo’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and first prize in the Acoustic/Folk category at the UK Songwriting Contest, as well as a special feature and interview on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.
On stage, the combination of astounding lap-tapping guitar, fiery fiddle and their trademark harmonies has to be seen to be believed – an evening in the company of this multi-talented duo will live long in the memory!
