“Folk at its most exalted” – The Observer
Lisa Knapp and Gerry Diver are a remarkable musical partnership at the forefront of contemporary folk. Lisa’s spellbinding vocals and command of traditional song blend seamlessly with Gerry’s acclaimed production and multi-instrumental talents. Together, they create richly textured, emotionally resonant music rooted in English and Irish traditions, layering twin fiddles, voice, percussion, autoharp, electronica and field recordings into bold, atmospheric arrangements. Their live shows bring the album to life with intimacy, innovation, and intensity.
A dynamic duo, they fuse their deep-seated love for English and Irish folk traditions into a vibrant project that’s as grounded in tradition as it is daring in innovation. With Knapp’s distinctive voice and her skill in weaving the ancient with the contemporary, alongside Diver’s fiddle virtuosity and trailblazing production, they’re crafting an auditory journey that honours the past while boldly stepping into new musical territories. This partnership is poised to enchant traditional folk purists and new seekers alike, promising a fresh, exhilarating spin on folk music’s timeless tales
