Skinner & T’witch have been on the road since 2014; released five albums; and have performed widely around the UK. They have toured both in Australia and the US.
They're delighted that they've gone down an absolute storm in each of their gigs so far this year:
16.8.24 - Colindale Barnet Folk Club, London
‘Skinner & T'witch gave a great performance, with songs of imagination, comedy and sheer beauty. I rate Skinner & T'witch's performance of their song 'How Can I Compare Thee' to be one of the finest songs I have ever heard in a folk club." Colindale Barnet Folk Club, London
9.7.24 - St Neots Folk Club
'We welcomed Skinner and Twitch to St Neots Folk Club and what a welcome they gave us in return!! Superb guitar playing and, with vocals to match, an enjoyable evening was had by all. Skinner & T'witch thoroughly entertained the audience with their songs and music. They played an interesting variety of instruments accompanied by be-'witching' vocals. The set was varied, ranging from traditional to mellow self-penned numbers, and even biting parodies. A good time was had by all. It was such a good evening - laughter all the way, and such a quirky inventive duo'. St Neots Folk Club
6.7.24 - Orpington Liberal Club
'The audience were delighted with Skinner & T'witch's comical renditions, plus some folk and flamenco, and their expertly polished performance. Steve Skinner writes the songs and is an accomplished musician. Sandra has a great voice, and when they harmonise the sound is second to none. Their personalities and sense of humour shine through, wowing the audience. Until the duo perform in your locality, check out some samples of their work on YouTube, but do see Skinner & T'witch live, they are terrific!' Orpington Liberal Club
8.6.24 - The Black Dyke Mills Heritage Centre
'Many thanks to Skinner & T'witch for an excellent show last night at the mill. Great songs, with laughter and a touch of flamenco - who could ask for more!' The Black Dyke Mills Heritage Venue
11.5.24 - Ashby Arts Festival
'Wonderful show. Great story telling and wonderful songs. Skinner & T'witch's simple choruses even had our French guests singing along. They were amazing!' Ashby Arts Festival
13.4.24 - Raising the Rafters Folk Club
'A huge 'thank you' to the amazing Skinner & T'witch for a brilliant gig, and to all who supported our virtually full-to-standing club. They are polished, they are funny, and those harmonies have to be heard to be believed! Fantastic! We loved every minute of it and so did the audience'. Raising the Rafters Folk Club
20.3.24 - Banbury Folk Club
'Skinner & T'witch are a very entertaining duo, who kept our audience spellbound, and singing along, the whole evening. Highly recommended.' Banbury Folk Club
19.3.24 - Bracknell Folk Club
'It was a joy to have Skinner & T'witch perform for us. We had some good chuckles, brief interludes of pathos, and perhaps even occasional bathos, some bits to join in with, and we all left with a glow. What more could you ask?' Bracknell Folk Club
23.2.24 - Ripon Wilfrid's Folk Club
'A great duo, with a lovely rapport and humorous banter between each other,
which they extended to the audience through the evening. Singing and playing mostly their own songs, they sang with passion and obvious enjoyment, which stimulated audience participation. A thoroughly enjoyable evening'. Ripon Wilfrid's Folk Club
