When Mike Harding dubbed Winter Wilson as one of the hardest working duos on the circuit, he'd clearly done his homework. Kip Winter and Dave Wilson have performed in Germany, Australia, Spain, Canada, Belgium and New Zealand.
They've released a string of critically acclaimed albums, one of the highlights being “Live & Unconventional”. Recorded on tour and at Cropredy Festival with folk rock icons Fairport Convention, the reviews were exceptional:
"If you need evidence of just how special the duo Winter Wilson is, then “Live & Unconventional” delivers in abundance." RnR magazine
"This is a brilliant, exceptionally well-recorded live album that really does convince that Kip and Dave are well and truly at the top of their game." Living Tradition Magazine.
It is in live performance where these two really excel. Kip Winter and Dave Wilson bring a sense of intimacy to every venue, blending superb, often hard-hitting original songs, stunning harmonies and musicianship with sometimes hilarious humour and tales of life on the road.
Kip (vocals, accordion, guitar, flute) "simply has a voice to die for” (Maverick Magazine), whilst Dave (vocals, guitar and banjo) is now rightly recognised as being amongst the top tier of British songwriters, with his songs sung in folk clubs across the UK and beyond.
Together, their voices are sublime. You will laugh; you may cry. You will certainly want to see them again!
Here they are singing just a couple of their songs.
First up is "Black Crow"
