Widely acclaimed for their lively and entertaining presentations of English folksongs, John Roberts and Tony Barrand have performed at major festivals, colleges, clubs and coffee-houses throughout the United States, Canada, and their native Britain.
Roberts and Barrand sing the ballads and songs of the sea, of rural pursuits, of social and sociable situations, of industrial toil and strife, and much more, typically arranging their material thematically to better illustrate the lives and the social history of the people who made and sang the songs. Their songs are punctuated with tales, monologues, dances and tunes, giving a more complete appreciation of the wealth, diversity, and vitality of the English folk tradition.
