Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell plus Dancing Years November 11, 2012

Delicate, haunting and heartbreaking are just a few of the words that have been used to describe Jonny Kearney and Lucy Farrell’s music. After meeting at Newcastle University six years ago, they formed an unlikely alliance – unlikely because Jonny with his bittersweet kitchen-sink dramas, shows sympathy with American storytellers like Bob Dylan and Tom Waits, while Lucy’s traditional folkie upbringing and vocal style couldn’t be more English. They're a duo just as likely to appeal to fans of Gillian Welch and the Low Anthem as the traditional folk world.
