Kit Hawes and Aaron Catlow - Live Touring Dates 4th - 15th November 2024

One of the most exciting duos to emerge from the UK in recent times Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow combine heartfelt musicality, unparalleled virtuosity and vocal harmony. Using the folk music of the British Isles as a catalyst, Kit and Aaron create dynamic and effervescent interpretations of centuries-old material as well as original songs and compositions, all the while celebrating the timeless aural quality of a guitar, fiddle and vocals duet.

The duo tour extensively in the UK and internationally across Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. BBC 2’s Mark Radcliffe is a champion of their work, saying “Kit and Aaron are reminiscent of the late Dave Swarbrick and Martin Carthy… I can give them no higher accolade. They deserve to be thought of as amongst the best”. “Fleet fingered and ingeniously arranged. .....deserve to be thought of as up there with the best of them” - Songlines  “At the top of their game” - Mark Radcliff, BBC Radio 2  “Such dexterity, energy and passion.....mightily impressive" - RnR Magazine Get in touch right away if you would like a date, email: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk ​ Video Link For Live touring dates: November 2024 please contact: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow
