Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman - 30th Anniversary Tour
Duos come and go, but few nurture and refine their craft with such dedication and originality as Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman.
Roberts and Lakeman have forged a creative bond that is as enduring as it is inspiring. Their 30 year journey together — from young trailblazers in the 1990s folk supergroup Equation to one of Britain’s most admired and decorated folk duos — stands as a testament to their artistry, authenticity, and masterful musicianship.
Their contribution to the British folk landscape has not gone unnoticed. Kathryn and Sean have twice been named 'Best Duo' at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, in addition to accolades from Spiral Earth and Fatea Magazine. Their live shows — brimming with charm, wit, and musical mastery — have earned them a devoted following and a reputation as a cornerstone act of the British folk and acoustic scene.
In 2025, the duo celebrated an extraordinary 30 years of music-making with the release of their first live concert album, “Another Day at the Circus” which captures the warmth, humour, and emotional depth that have made their live performances so cherished — an invitation into the magic of an evening spent in the company of two artists completely at ease with their craft.
“It’s folk music for the modern age.” – The Telegraph
“Rightly regarded as one of the most engaging folk/acoustic duos on the circuit.” – Rock ’n’ Reel
“Songwriters par excellence.” – fRoots
“Kathryn Roberts Is extraordinary, exuding more emotion In a single sigh than most Divas can manage in an aria” - Sing Out Magazine - USA
“Sean Lakeman`s clever acoustic guitar riffs mixed with Roberts’ sultry singing combine to bring tuneful, intelligent and soulful music” - Acoustic Guitarist
