Gilmore & Roberts

We are delighted to welcome contemporary folk/acoustic duo Gilmore & Roberts back to’ Live in the House’ and to our first show in the beautiful intimate setting of Shrewsbury’s Unitarian Church. With their award winning songwriting and astounding musicianship with trademark harmonies, creating a powerful wall of sound, Gilmore & Roberts are celebrating 10 years since the release of their seminal album Conflict Tourism..

Nominated three times at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Katriona Gilmore (fiddle, mandolin) and Jamie Roberts (guitar) met while studying at Leeds College of Music and released their debut album in 2008. Since then, the duo have toured Canada and mainland Europe, played some of the UK’s biggest acoustic festivals, toured with folk rock legends Fairport Convention and won countless accolades for their genre-spanning work.
