MULTI-instrumentalists Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith have partnered up with Stroud Folk Festival to present an evening of traditional and original folksong of the British Isles at Ruskin Mill on Friday, September 22.
Heavily influenced by the songs and singers of East Anglia where they both grew up, their music also reflects the diversity of voices within the folk and acoustic world.
They tell stories of hardship, joy, struggle and celebration, political resistance and the decline of industry, held together with driving banjo and guitar arrangements and close vocal harmonies.
Their second album 'Night Hours' was released in December 2016 to great reviews across the board and has fast cemented their place of longevity within the folk scene.
The duo became festival favourites last year.
- September 22. £8/£6. Venue: Ruskin Mill, Old Bristol Road, Nailsworth, GL6 0LA. Booking: email events@rmc.rmt.org or phone 01453 837537. Visit jimmyandsidduo.com or rmt.org/ruskinmillcollege/events/ for more.
