This tantalising new duo brings together the beguiling voice of Janie Mitchell (“The Mary Webb Songs”) and the instrumental wizardry of Benji Kirkpatrick (Bellowhead, Faustus). Performing their own songs on guitars, bouzouki and hammered dulcimer, the pair sing of love, loss, longing; but don’t be downhearted: their harmonies and humour will lift your spirits and their dark passion will carry you out of the ordinary into the sublime.
Janie, with her previous duo ‘Beguildy’, enjoyed wide ranging radio play with The Mary Webb Songs, one of which featured on the coveted froots magazine sampler CDs. She has taken her voice around the world but settled back in Shropshire where she and Benji hooked up again to write songs together. Benji has worked extensively with Seth Lakeman, Maddy Prior (the voice of Steeleye Span) and Oysterband as well as being a stalwart of Bellowhead and Faustus and continues to perform and release albums as a solo artist.
