Ben Needham and Robin Petty

About Me

Although friends since primary school, Ben Needham and Robin Petty only collaborated to form an acoustic duo in relatively recent years. Their live set includes a strong element of traditional music in addition to self-penned material and selections from contemporary singer-songwriters.

They have performed across Lancashire and Yorkshire at a variety of folk clubs, music festivals and acoustic pub sessions and have featured on local radio.

In addition to the live dates listed above, Ben and Robin appear once a month as part of the electro-acoustic night in the New Inn, Clitheroe.
