SUMMARY:Chris While and Julie Matthews
LOCATION:Birmingham Kitchen Garden Cafe
DESCRIPTION:- One of the finest and most loved duos on the British and Wor
 ld folk/roots stages.​“They light up the room with their amazing energ
 y” (James Taylor).“Truly gifted human beings” (Richard Hawley).With 
 over 30 years of unrivaled musical partnership and gathering numerous nomi
 nations\, awards and critical acclaim along the way\, much beloved British
  singer-songwriters Chris While and Julie Matthews celebrated a quarter of
  a century last year as one of the best loved and most prolific female duo
 s to come out of this country. They have played more than 2\,600 gigs\, ap
 peared on over 100 albums\, written hundreds of original songs and reached
  millions of people around the world. They are also part of female super g
 roup\, Daphne’s Flight (Helen Watson\, Melanie Harrold & Miranda Sykes) 
 and Christmas band\, St. Agnes Fountain with Fairport’s Chris Leslie. No
 w\, 30 years after their debut\, they sound as fresh and vital as ever."it
 's a real honour just to be an audience member but I've had the added hono
 ur of standing on a stage with them playing along in the background\, thin
 gs like that I'll treasure forever\, truly gifted human beings" (Richard H
 awley). ​“Chris While is the best singer in England” (Eddi Reader).
 ​Froots simply called Julie Matthews “awesomely talented”.Chris Whil
 e (vocals\, guitar\, banjo\, dulcimer\, bodhran and percussion) & Julie Ma
 tthews (vocals\, piano\, guitar\, mandolin and bouzouki) are stunning sing
 ers\, songwriters\, musicians and performers whose energy and commitment t
 o their craft and their audience is boundless.They are two of the best and
  most hardworking musicians on the world folk roots scene\, both are highl
 y regarded producers and they record everything that they are involved in 
 at their own studio in a small pennine town far from the Londoncentric mus
 ic industry. They truly are inspirational women. ​“The undisputed quee
 ns of British folk duos continue to come up with the goods\, 1st class son
 gs delivered with to die for harmonies\, immaculate musicianship & melodie
 s that lodge themselves in your brain” (The Guardian).​Though internat
 ionally acclaimed\, they continue to be a leading force on the UK’s acou
 stic/roots arts circuit. Their songs cover life as they see it\, from the 
 industrial waste lands of the north\, to injustice and freedom\, matters o
 f the heart and everything in between. Their songs are covered by many rev
 ered singers the world over but it is While & Matthews’ musical partners
 hip and obvious joy of performing together that really brings their songs 
 to life. As performers they are unrivaled and their audiences leave their 
 concerts having been through an emotional journey.​Chris and Julie have 
 been nominated ten times in the BBC Radio 2 Folk music awards in the ‘Be
 st Song\, Best Duo\, Best Live Act’ categories and winning Best Duo in 2
 009 but it is their longstanding and devoted growing fans that they care a
 bout most.2017 saw them perform at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the Fo
 lk Awards alongside Boo Hewerdine\, John McCusker and Kris Drever. They we
 re performing songs from the Ballads Of Child Migration\, a project that c
 overs the sad history of forced child migration and became a major tour in
  November 2018.“These women far outclass their many famous American cous
 ins\, and prove just how immediate and powerful well-written and performed
  music can still be. Awe- inspiring. (Dirty Linen)“Chris and Julie are o
 n top form and can’t put a foot wrong” (fRoots).\n\nBoletos: https://w
