Latest Projects

The Folk Detectives

The Folk Detectives are Matthew Crampton and Paul Hutchinson. Their mission is ‘to uphold the lore – the Folklore.’ They challenge the ‘so-called experts’ at Cecil Sharp House with a podcast filled with outlandish theories. But their pilot recording for that podcast keeps failing.

Among the deadpan nonsense, terrible jokes and musical pastiches, there are celebrity guests (who never turn up), spoof ads for sponsors, and other classic elements of radio comedy.

Coracle

Coracle brings together the talents, imagination and creativity of three artists with vastly different backgrounds, who have come together through their love of traditional music cut through with experimentation, boldness, humour and risk.

Expect ethereal to turn gutsy, passion to be tempered by a good laugh and a tide of improvisation which means no two evenings are ever the same. 

Paul Hutchinson & Karen Wimhurst

Paul and Karen have been playing together for over twenty years.  Their work has ranged from duo, trio, quartet and big band situations, find out more abour their latest performances
