Louis Campbell

Following the release of their bold and confident 2022 debut, Owen Spafford and Louis Campbell were ones to watch and their follow-up confirms this; “Tomorrow Held” is a beautifully constructed album that swings from calm and tranquil to the gnarly and abrupt. It is a considerable step forward for Spafford Campbell in terms of creative ideas; they have talent to spare and are not afraid to use it.

Fiddle and guitar duo Owen Spafford & Louis Campbell sign to Real World Records and announce Tomorrow Held. Watch the video for their lead single, MacGill, that pays homage to the creative partnership of Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell: “It’s slightly more jazz-influenced in terms of harmony and sound than the other stuff on the record,” says Spafford. “We’re going to that sweet spot at the folky end of jazz.”

Dave Malkin & Louis Campbell’s ‘Bird on a Briar’ EP is a lovely little treat; you’ll find yourself keeping it on repeat and quietly gorging on its beautifully nuanced, balanced playing.

Watch Owen Spafford & Louis Campbell performing their new EP – 102 Metres East live at Real World Studios. The whole session is really quite breathtaking to watch. Pure gold from start to finish.

There is something inherently uplifting about Sam Sweeney’s fiddle playing – it soothes, replenishes, and heartens the soul. Add in Campbell’s electric guitar, and ‘Shapes’ proves a stunning listening experience – fiddle and electric guitar have rarely sounded so breath-taking.

You, Golden, the first duo record from Owen Spafford and Louis Campbell, was always one to look forward to. Uplifting, probing and exciting, as well as wise and patient, it is an album to return to and savour. Excellent stuff.
