A renowned folk duo are to perform at a house gig tomorrow.

Appalachian folk pair Jeni and Billy, who hail from North Carolina, will take to the stage in the home of Linthwaite woman Hazel Davis for a one-off intimate gig.

The quirky event is one of dozens of house gigs that Jeni Hankins and Billy Kemp have organised up and down the country to get to meet and say thanks to their fans.

The audience will also be able to hear songs from their new release Picnic in the Sky.

Speaking about the duo, US novelist Lee Smith says, “Jeni and Billy’s stunningly original music is as old as the hills, yet brand new at the same time. Jeni is a true poet and a born storyteller, through and through ­­ many of her songs contain whole novels.”

The night will start with a curry Dinner at 5pm, and will be followed by the concert at 6:30pm.

The price is a £10 suggested donation to the artist. Email hazeldavis@gmail.com. for reservations
