Westcountry duo Mitchell and Vincent bring traditional and contemporary styles on fiddle and guitar to folk tunes and songs from the British Isles, as well as original material drawing on the folk traditions, using varied arrangements to create stories with tunes as well as songs.
Both are also trained luthiers and play using instruments hand-made by themselves.

Firmly on our favourite venues and people list, we've had some fun gigs here over the years so looking forward to playing here once again! You're guarenteed a friendly welcome too!
Look closely at the ceiling and you might just spot a couple pictures of us from previous gigs...
This popular tavern hosts regular live music from some great worldclass acts, both local and touring musicians, and really takes its music seriously in the best way.
They have won the CAMRA Somerset Branch Cider Pub of the Year numerous times as well as CAMRA South West Pub of the Year. If it's cider you want, Pebbles Tavern is apparently the place to go to in Somerset and they also do some mighty fine ales too!

Acoustic magazine praised their playing as, “Stunning”; FATEA said, “Music that is beautifully played”; while Bright Young Folk described their performance as, " Their sound is much deeper and richer than you would expect from an acoustic duo. … Providing skilled arrangements and expert delivery of tunes and songs which showcase the vibrancy, and variety, of folk music across Britain.
