Mark Radcliffe and David Boardman: Folk Duo

Mark Radcliffe has been on BBC national radio since the early nineties and cur-
rently hosts the Radio 2 Folk Show and weekend breakfast on 6Music. He
is also the author of five bestselling books, the latest being ‘Crossroads –
In Search Of The Moments That Changed Music’. Previously a member of
folk-rock bands The Family Mahone and Galleon Blast, he is currently one
half of electronic duo UNE and drummer and lyricist for Americana band
Fine Lines whose lead singer and guitarist is…..
David Boardman. A consummate guitarist and guitar teacher, David cut his
teeth on the rock circuit with Darktown Jubilee touring not only the UK but
also North America and Canada. A gifted visual artist, Boardman met Rad-
cliffe in their hometown of Knutsford where their writing partnership soon
began to flourish.
Their act is one of classic simplicity: two voices, two guitars, some great
original songs, the odd carefully chosen cover and the occasional rambling
anecdote. They have recently recorded their debut duo album ‘First Light’
and have somehow managed to hit the sweet spot between David want-
ing to do dozens of takes before carefully selecting the best bits and Mark
thinking it was alright the first time!

Doors open 6pm and event starts at 6.30pm.
