They mix lyrical and relaxing
vocal harmony with lively 'patter', and perform fast and technically
difficult traditional and self penned tunes, sometimes with
simultaneous step dance.
Their Big Band line up features additional young musicians Will Lang (champion bodrhan player) Thomas Fairbairn (gifted and eccentric 5 string viola player) as well as veterans of the folk world Phil Strange and Phil Cawsey (guitar and bass)

| Other info: |
Multi-instrumentalist duo Jamie Schofield and Nicola Lyons are too young for the BBC Radio Two Folk Awards but too old for early nights! They are currently Fosbrook Folk Education Trust School of Traditional Music top students and they performed as a duo at Sidmouth International Folk Festival, Whitby Folk Week and Saddleworth Acoustic Festival as well as headlining a concert tour in Sweden and appearing with Fosbrooks - The Front Line at the Sixth International China Folk Festival. Jamie and Nicola come as highly recommended by Bernard Wrigley, Kathryn Tickell, Pete Cooper and Celtic Connections Festival. Two comments about their performances :
Jamie and
Nicola are natural performers - they entertain, they lift the
spirits and they play great music with verve, vitality and
commitment. Kathryn Tickell.
Sometimes
when you encounter perfomers who are barely in their teens and
very good players they can appear a little precocious. Not so with
Jamie and Nicola. Instrumental prowess that adults would be proud
of - and they talk to the audience (even cracking jokes). What a
promising start - they'll certainly go a long way. Bernard Wrigley
