Josienne Clarke & Samantha Whates

Josienne Clarke & Samantha Whates

London

Samantha Whates and Josienne Clarke met on the London acoustic music scene not far off a decade ago, forging a firm friendship from the off. Often invited to perform on the same bill, they began to sing backing vocals on each other´s work; that informal collaboration has now become a joint project. Both highly accomplished singers in their own right the combination of their vocal power is very special. As seasoned performers expect superb harmony, fine interpretation and wonderful craft, and the chance to see two great friends at the top of their game enjoying performing together.

Josienne Clarke is one half of Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker, winners of BBC Radio 2´s Folk Award for Best Duo, 2015. Later that year they appeared in Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Our Country´s Good at The National Theatre, performing their own compositions. They have just released their third album on the internationally renowned Rough Trade label.


Samantha Whates´ beautifully crafted, poetic songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary, rooted in tradition, yet uniquely her own. Recent performances include Kings Place in May and the Purcell Rooms in the Royal Festival Hall. She recently released her debut Dark Nights Make For Brighter Days which has been enjoying both critical acclaim and radio play (BBC 6 Music, KCRW, Resonance FM).
