Robb Johnson & Roger Watson

Two folk legends for the price of one! Acclaimed songwriter Robb Johnson will be playing songs from his new album “The Optimist Hotel”, then joined by melodeon genius Roger Watson for a set of songs and tunes.  

Roger’s “influence and work as a professional folk musician has been immense and definitive: a bandleader, solo singer, instrumentalist, dance caller, songwriter, vocal arranger, inter-cultural activist, linguist, writer, thinker and folk animateur” (EFDS Gold Badge citation) 

Robb’s “An English original” (Robin Denselow, The Guardian), “a national treasure” (Mike Harding), “one of this country’s most important songwriters” (fROOTS), “a genuine folk legend” (Twickfolk).
