Ros and Simon were last years Bideford Folk Festival revelation. We had so much good feedback about them and enjoyed their performances so much ourselves that we had to book them for 2009. Excellent songs beautifully played and sung - they are with us for the week.
Barron Brady are interpretors of English folk song and contemporary folk songwriters who live in Devon and perform nationwide.
Acclaimed for their own deftly crafted material as much as their original take on traditional song, they have a dynamic acoustic style combining joy and verve in performance with an assured stage presence garnered from five years of performing nationwide.
Their debut album 'Somewhen' received national airplay and excellent reviews and their second album 'England Needs Her Hedgerows', featuring songs inspired by the folklore and stories of Devon, is now available.
With an exciting repertoire likely to include a rousing chorus-led song one moment and a moving ballad the next, Barron Brady blend their distinctive voices together weaving in and out of the rich harmony created by Simon's masterful guitar playing and Rosalind's harmonium and whistles.
"These two artists demonstrate most clearly in their work the relevance of an old tradition expertly employed to reflect a modern world, appealing to both the intellect and the heart"
