Jacob and Drinkwater in Concert
Friday 16th May 2025
Doors open: 19:30
South-west based duo Jacob & Drinkwater have been called “stand out new folk” by BBC6 Music with their live show described as “intense and spellbinding” by Folk Radio UK. The duo formed in 2014 playing their first gig together at the iconic Glastonbury Festival.
Jacob & Drinkwater’s dynamic and emotionally charged live show with all its energy, musical chemistry and spontaneity regularly draws comparisons with the virtuosic pairing of John Martyn & Danny Thompson.
Jacob's sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Drinkwater's nimbly rhythmic double bass and atmospheric electric guitar; at times sweetly soaring, haunting, percussive and driving, the layers of depth a perfect counterfoil.
The added complement of stirring vocal harmonies nicely rounds off the mix.
