Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman Live Album & Autumn Tour

Sep 24, 2025

Duos come and duos go, and some nurture and fine tune their art and watch it grow into something totally original and captivating. For three decades Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman’s partnership has proved personal, permanent and pivotal.

From their roots in 90’s folk supergroup ‘Equation‘ through to becoming a revered duo in the folk music scene this multi award-winning folk music couple continue to exude timeless class with their exquisite brand of traditional and contemporary acoustic music.

“It’s folk music for the modern age.”–The Telegraph, London

2025 sees them celebrate 30 years of their musical partnership with the release of their first live concert album. Titled ‘Another Day At The Circus’ it perfectly encapsulates the intimate poignancy of an evening with a couple at the top of their game.

Kathryn and Sean have twice been voted BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Best Duo as well as winning Best Duo in our esteemed Spiral Awards !

Here’s a delightful video so you can see why:
