Now they've reunited to play acoustic concerts and festivals where they will sing songs from traditional to 20th-21st Century, each chosen for meaning in both repertoires. Rab's continuing reputation as a fine singer-songwriter and Barbara's as an interpreter of new and traditional songs with a contemporary edge will be their aim. They come from the folk revival of the 1960's and their quality is rooted there. They are delighted to be 'going on the road' together after so long.
With the superb Anthony Toner as support.
