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.
