Blackdowns Early Music Projects – Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll – English Fiddles & Folk

Two of the West Country’s finest fiddle-players join forces to form this fabulous duo with an innovative take on English traditional music and song. Nick & Becki brought their finest fiddling form to Culmstock last year and are back by popular request. There is something very special about the way these two play together, it looks so easy! We’ve said it before, and we say it again, there is no music without the folk to make it!

Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll are highly-respected musicians, composers and workshop leaders based in North Devon. They first collaborated as a fiddle duo on a busking trip around Spain and Portugal, and in the years since have worked with some of the leading lights of the English folk scene, always pushing the boundaries and developing new and inventive music.

Nick and Becki tell tales in music and song, adding their own contemporary twists that will surely contribute to the continued web of music that holds us all together.
