    Duotone and Larkhall unite for Bristol gig

    Press contact Elisabeth Winkler 0777 399 8642

    Sunday 6 November 2016 @ The Folk House, Bristol, UK 

    Enter a melodic soundscape with two singer-songwriters who push sonic boundaries while delivering damn good story-telling songs.

    Duotone, aka Barney Morse-Brown (cellist with triple-platinum artist Birdy) is a singer-songwriter creating evocative folk songs fusing electronica with crystal-clear vocals, guitar and cello, distilled with classical grace.

    “A hidden gem.”

    — Observer

    “[The] sound is light but cleverly layered, the songs minimal but resonant.”

    — Guardian/Observer

    Charlie Williams, pianist and singer, aka Larkhall

    Larkhall is Chicago-born Charlie Williams, a pianist who brings an indie-classical sensibility to his anthemic, melodic songs. Entrancing lyrics are raised up by the rise and swell of lyrical, heart-opening piano and strings. Expect unconventional add-ons including Blu Tack, one-handed drumming and metronome-as-percussion.

    “…Spoke directly to the Nils Frahm fan in me… glorious, heartfelt melody.”

    — Fresh on the Net

    “Exceptional, powerful… something you need to experience.”

    — No More Division

    Why Bristol? Larkhall’s singer and pianist, Charlie Williams, says: “Barney is based in Oxford, I’m in Bath, so it makes perfect sense for us to play in Bristol, with its thriving scene of indie musical creativity.”
