Jan and Paul Ramsey
Jan and Paul have been performing as a duo since they were students. They have a wide repertoire with an emphasis on traditional and contemporary folk music. The collection of songs they perform includes a selection of self-penned material often, but not exclusively, related to social history, together with a few of their favourite Americana songs.
Jan sings lead with guitar whilst Paul plays harmonica in a distinctive single reed style, as well as singing vocal harmonies. Over the years the duo have played at a wide range of events and folk clubs around the UK.
They have also been residents of various folk clubs over the decades including Aberdeen, Lancaster, Nottingham and presently at their local club in Grimsby.
Their approach to performing was best described in a review following a gig at Lymm Folk Club
“They gave us a great variety of songs, some with sing-along choruses, others without, and some interesting variants on well-known songs ... They gave us fascinating back stories to many of the songs, without falling into the trap of talking so much that the songs took a back seat!” Bernard Cromarty, Organiser
