TWO-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar will be performing live at Cardigan’s Theatr Mwldan on the Monday, March 4 (7.30pm).

The duo combines Russell’s powerful vocals and driving guitar style with Algar’s All-Ireland Championship-winning fiddle playing.

Since joining forces Russell and Algar have become one of the most sought-after acts on the folk scene, touring extensively in the UK, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium and The Netherlands.

Their fourth and latest (2018) studio album, Utopia & Wasteland, was described as ‘a big step forward’ (RnR Magazine), established them as ‘the golden boys of Brit-Folk’ (MOJO) and raised the pair to being ‘one of the most exciting duos in any genre’ (FRUK).

As well as touring as a duo, Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar have been involved in some of the leading artistic collaborations to have come out of the UK folk scene in the last 10 years including The Transports (5 Stars, The Guardian), Sam Kelly and the Lost Boys and Shake the Chains (4 Stars, The Guardian).

“Invigorating…infectious joy,” writes Songlines, while Maverick describes the duo as “folk at its very best.”
