Sandy Brechin & Ewan Wilkinson: Shammick Acoustic

Event information

This duo are venturing South from Scotland to play a mixture of Scottish and English centuries-old songs and tunes, together with contemporary songs from the likes of Richard Thompson and their own compositions. An emotive singer and an articulate guitarist, Ewan has been hailed as an important new young talent on the folk scene, whilst Sandy is acknowledged as being one of the greatest exponents of the Scottish accordion, proving that it can be a very powerful instrument in the right hands. The duo make a sound guaranteed to make you sit up and take notice - offering the sublime blend of Ewan's powerful yet melodic vocals and guitar work with Sandy's electrifying accordion, these two take Scottish folk music to high levels of excitement and entertainment! A recent review of the duo’s performance said: “Ewan’s beautiful, heartfelt and tight performances, woven seamlessly with Brechin’s lilting accordion, creating a powerhouse of folk.” Add that to presentation full of humour, how can you resist? Let’s give them a real Devon welcome!
