In the current Folk scene it is easy to dismiss the English tradition as a poor cousin to the vibrancy of Celtic music. An evening with Tams and Coope waves no national flag but does redress the balance. John Tams is a man who has paid his dues, honed his craft and still has plenty to say. His partnership with Barry Coope - whose reputation with Folk supergroup Blues Murder is equally formidable - is pure delight. Their superbly paced set will provide you with a thrilling and moving testament to the riches of England's popular music heritage. John Tams and Barry Coope website.
