Will Pound & Jenn Butterworth *

25th September 2023

This gig is for a seated audience.

“Two of the finest instrumentalists in traditional music combine to bring a tour de force of breathtaking performances, which first started in lockdown with a video that was an international internet sensation.”

Will Pound – Harmonica, Melodeon
Jenn Butterworth – Guitar, Voice

A chance meeting at a folk session in 2018 led to Will and Jenn’s music travelling around the world as a viral TikTok sensation in lockdown. In their live shows they play a game of ‘musical cat and mouse’; improvising and responding to each other, weaving virtuosic performances that are unique and in-the-moment as only two musicians highly accomplished in their craft can produce.

Their debut album, Volume 1 was recorded live, over two days in Glasgow, and released on 24 February 2023.

Support:

Armoured Man are a multi-instrumental folk duo from the flatlands of East Anglia. Rooted in the storytelling traditions of folk songwriting, Armoured Man’s sound fuses English and Celtic folk with elements of alternative rock and the nervy energy of post-hardcore. Formed in 2015 in Castelló de la Plana, on the Valencian plain, Adam Thomas and Lewis Berale initially performed as Natives, earning a dedicated local following thanks to their intense, visceral live shows. On returning to Essex in 2018, the pair continued to produce songs exploring the dysfunctional relationship between humans and the natural world, as well as between humans and themselves. Having recently played some high profile support slots with Frank Turner, Beans on Toast and Alden & Patterson, you can expect intricate guitars, mandolin, fiddle and poetic lyrics with harmonies.

“Holy Christ, they blew my mind - 2000% you need to check them out immediately”
