Walsh and Pound

Nominated Musician of the Year (Will Pound) - BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2012

Will Pound and Dan Walsh are two of the most exciting and unique young musicians on today's music scene.

Labelled respectively as 'one of the most original harmonica players in Britain' and 'the UK's top Clawhammer banjoist', the two have joined forces to create a highly entertaining and astonishing live set which made its debut in May 2009 at Manchester's Chetham's School of Music to a rapturous reception.

Since then they have gained critical acclaim for their live performances across the UK, including The Sage Gateshead, London’s Southbank Centre and significant festivals.

2010 saw them working in groundbreaking projects at The Barbican London as well as appearances at many major UK festivals.

Already in 2011 they have Festival appearances booked at Sidmouth, Shrewsbury, Bromyard and Broadstairs.

They have just finished recording their debut album at Rooksmere Studios, Northampton, produced by Mark Hutchinson.

Prepare to be astonished by stunning vocals, frailing banjo wizardry and sounds you didn’t think were possible on harmonica.

This duo is destined for great things, with their ability to encompass an amazing array of musical genres with ease, energy and excellence!!!!
