  • Description

    The debut album from folk based acoustic duo David Gibb and Elly Lucas.

    David Gibb and Elly Lucas are an exciting young duo who play a mixture of original and re 8208;worked traditional folk material. They hail from Derbyshire in the Midlands and have previously toured the UK extensively as part of David Gibb & The Pony Club. David plays the guitars, melodeon and sings; Elly plays fiddle, viola and also sings. From these minimal resources, the twosome produce distinctive vocal leads, haunting harmonies and a quite dense instrumental sound. Their singing is simple and unadorned; check out Elly's wistful vocal on 'Blacksmith' or David's lead to 'Jerusalem Cuckoo'. The pair were chosen as finalists in the prestigious BBC Young Folk Awards 2011 and, on the road, have supported such acts as Cara Dillon, Chris Wood, Coope, Boyes and Simpson, Jez Lowe, and Megson.
