Will Pound & Jenn Butterworth

WILL POUND & JENN BUTTERWORTH This project began with a chance meeting at a folk session in 2018, which led to Will and Jenn’s music travelling around the world as a viral internet sensation. In their live shows they play a game of ‘musical cat and mouse’ improvising and responding to each other, weaving virtuosic performances that are unique and in the moment as only two musicians highly accomplished in their craft can produce. An outstanding talent in his generation, harmonica and melodeon player Will Pound has pushed the boundaries of both instruments, sharing awe inspiring performances across the world. Jenn Butterworth is one of the most notable folk guitarists in the UK, previously awarded ‘Musician of the Year’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards, and nominated for the same title at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. An excellent collaborator, she can regularly be seen performing with folk powerhouses such as Kinnaris Quintet, Ross Ainslie & Ali Hutton and Treacherous Orchestra. Together, they’ll share an eclectic mix of high energy tunes and uplifting songs. “will leave you breathless right from the opening tune set. Breathless from the display of sheer virtuosity and musical invention.” FATEA
