Becky Taylor and Sam Lawrence are an unusual acoustic duo known for their rich, multi-instrumental performances. Becky is a highly accomplished player of the uilleann and Northumbrian pipes, while Sam brings virtuosity across a wide range of stringed instruments and songs. Between them, they draw on a vast array of instruments including Uilleann pipes, Northumbrian Smallpipes, whistles, accordion, guitar, hurdy-gurdy, mandolin, bouzouki and sometimes even a stomp shoe— creating a lively and engaging set full of variety and character.!

Expect toe-tapping tunes, a wealth of songs and plenty of good natured chat with instruments that you don’t hear everyday.

“Two of the finest musicians on the planet – seriously they don’t come any better… both are class performers individually, and together they make more than the sum of their parts -strings and pipes of all kinds…don’t miss it” – Mike Harding”

“A most amazing set of music and song – anyone not here tonight has missed one of the best sessions available. They are superb.”

We made a short video to show the sort of noise we make.

“The Folkies Folk!“

Between us we have lots of tunes and songs on two sets of Uilleann pipes, duelling whistles, bouzouki, guitar, concertina, hurdy-gurdy, accordion, mandolin and probably something else that I have forgotten…

We have been known to get the Hurdy Gurdy and accordion out on occasion! Here’s a wee snippet from a recent practise session…
