The Kimberleys

Friday July 18th 2025

7.00pm | £20.00 (excluding online booking fee)

The Kimberleys are a multi instrumentalist duo based in London. Their repertoire is drawn from traditional folk songs of the British Isles. Isobel and Jim Kimberley’s honest arrangements, exceptional musicianship and glorious familial harmonies combine to make an impact much greater than their two piece line up. It is magical to witness.

They achieve what some may say is impossible, a genuinely new take on traditional folk music, which is nevertheless accessible to everyone.

If you are a folk fan of old it is fair to say you will recognise a good part of their repertoire, but if not, you will enjoy the freshness and vitality of their performance. They are extraordinarily together in everything they do: vocally, instrumentally and most importantly, rhythmically. Isobel’s open tuned guitar provides a firm base for Jim’s various instruments and their always inventive vocals. Their take on ‘Hard Times of Old England’ is both poignant and contemporary, and their subtle changes to the melody make it even more so. They are also an extremely personable couple, funny and informative, with their enthusiasm for what they do being both unmistakable and infectious. They know and genuinely love their music and treat it with the utmost respect while still giving it new life (‘Elsie Marley’ is an ear-worm par excellence!) and making you realise why these songs have lasted as long as they have.

As always, doors at 7.00, performance 7.45pm.
