Saturday 25th February 2012, 9pm Greg McDonald & Gemma Gayner
Formed in March 2011, the duo brings together singer-songwriter Greg McDonald's award-winning narrative songs and fiddle virtuoso Gemma Gayner's breathtaking musicianship.
As a songwriter Greg McDonald has won awards from Rolling Stone and been called "inspired" by The Times. Greg's debut album Stranger at the Door was Q magazine's highest rated independent album of 2009, while 2011's follow up Tomorrow England was called "one of the most complete albums in years" by fRoots writer Simon Jones.
Gemma Gayner's virtuosic skill across genres from folk to jazz to classical has taken her from Deptford jazz cellars to major folk festival stages and seen her called a "powerhouse instrumentalist" by fRoots. Between them Greg and Gemma have worked with Show of Hands, Dawn Parade, The Dealers, JD & the Longfellows, and shared stages with everyone from Seth Lakeman to The Pogues.
