About this event
FOLK AND ROOTS PRESENTS - GEORGE WASHBOURN + DUO MADRUGADA: George Washbourn is a multi-instrumental folk musician, singer, and composer from Kent. He has spent the last 20 years scratching away at various stringed instruments; he has had the great pleasure and good fortune to happen to do this in front of audiences. His debut EP Lost In The Swell, an instrumental set of 5 tunes, draws from his musical travels, collaborations across the London folk scene, and traditional Balfolk tunes. Alongside his work as a composer and performer of original material, he plays part in a range of projects including London-based global roots collective Flotsam Orchestra, River Wild, and Alex Connor. Duo Madrugada (Emily Jennings and Cassie Mathews) are a beguiling voice and guitar partnership, weaving captivating arrangements of traditional folksongs. Praised on recital platforms across the UK – recently described as ‘outstanding’ and ‘ravishing’ (FringeReview) – they bring timeless stories to life with haunting intimacy and spellbinding artistry. Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat , we recommend arriving early!
