Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith are one of the finest duos to have emerged onto the British folk and acoustic scene in recent years. Their unique ability to make old songs seem relevant and new songs sound ancient has brought them widespread critical acclaim and earned them a nomination for ‘Best Traditional Track’ at the 2019 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for ‘The Reedcutter’s Daughter’.
“To be a great folk singer, you have to be a great storyteller, as Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith are clearly aware. The duo are both fine singers and multi-instrumentalists” The Guardian
Performing live, the duo blend a celebration of traditional music with a deep integrity and sincerity that stems from their passion for the social themes within the music.
”Determinedly forthright singing and empathetic arrangements give a compelling intensity and freshness.” ★★★★★ fRoots
