An acoustic concert with English folk duo Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll in the beautiful setting of St. Lawrence Chapel. This is part of their 'Beautiful Spaces' tour.
The joyful combination of English fiddle partnership Nick Wyke and Becki Driscoll welcomes you into their family from the first note. This is a masterclass in the art and mystery of connection; two fiddles and two voices working in confidence and synergy to create something far greater than the sum of its parts. Nick and Becki's refined arrangements feature intricate subtleties that build to driving rhythms, stunning harmonies and dramatic crescendos.

These compositions are infused with shared stories, songs and tunes from England's west country and beyond – and it can all start from just one simple riff. This is the very essence of folk music; allowing the past to inspire the future.

Their latest project "The Songs of Edward Capern" adds a variety of other instruments to their trademark sound. The work features landscape and life-inspired verse from the Victorian "Postman Poet" set to their own compositions, drawing on and evoking the folk melodies of 19th Century Devon.

The duo's own story began on a six-month busking and hitchhiking adventure. A few years and two children later, their music has matured to bear the unmistakable hallmarks of a partnership grounded in the confidence that only mutual love, trust and stability can bring. Audiences instinctively feel this, and warm to Nick and Becki's assured stage presence and entertaining patter.

This is music for the heart, the mind and the soul, and an evening in Nick and Becki's company will remind you of the importance of each.
