- 'Fire & Fortune' - Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker's ALBUM LAUNCH: Friday 19th July 2013, at The Forge in Camden, London - details and tickets here - www.forgevenue.org/whats-on/ev...
In this live video from monthly folk/americana night Before The Gold Rush, Josienne & Ben perform their take on the traditional song 'My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose', as featured on their new Navigator Records album 'Fire & Fortune'.
In a town full of songs and singers, Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker give you the real thing. Both classically trained, their musical proficiency is beyond doubt. But this isn't about technical accomplishment. This is about a song, first and foremost. Whether interpreting words centuries old, or singing her own authentic lyrics, Josienne's jewel-like voice finds the nuance and melancholy in the simplest phrase and effortlessly sends it straight to your heart.
Ben's musical tact and mastery of the guitar provide the perfect setting and allow the song centre-stage.
Josienne was born in Sussex and Ben, in Evesham. It was after studying in London, and utterly by chance, that they met in July 2009. They have been working together ever since. Critical acclaim soon followed, along with the Isambard Folk Award and the FATEA award for Female vocalist of the year. Their work together combines an exquisite command of their instruments with lyrics steeped in the tradition of English songwriting, and in ageless stories of love and loss.
Two joint releases later, they've played as a duo alongside many of the living legends including Martin Simpson and Steve Tilston, and have just completed tour dates in Germany, the Netherlands and UK with more planned for 2013.
Navigator Records, home of Bellowhead, Bella Hardy, Heidi Talbot and many other gifted musicians, will be releasing their new album 'Fire and Fortune' in July.
Though influenced by greats such as Sandy Denny, Richard and Linda Thompson, Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and June Tabor, 'Fire and Fortune' marks two musicians who have resolutely found their own path through traditional English music.
Their new album, 'Fire and Fortune' contains twelve tracks, some carefully selected traditional songs re-imagined; others equally carefully picked original compositions. This is timeless stuff, and its purity will stay with you long after the last note fades.

Before The Gold Rush is a monthly night at The Wilmington Arms music venue in central London. It showcases the best in emerging and unsigned artists within, but not strictly confined to, the genres of folk, americana, and alt. country.
At BTGR we record performances on a digital 8 track recorder with a direct line out from the desk and two ambient microphones. After the show we then apply a full mix to the audio and sync it to the footage, providing all acts with a high quality live video of their entire set.

I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this song in the small upstairs room of a pub in Babbacombe in 2014. An unforgettable moment - you could have heard a pin drop. Beautiful voice, wonderful guitar playing - a shame they no longer play together.
Beautiful voice.
My favourite ever song ❤️, well done
played this over and over again on the CD and thought I would love it played at my wedding but then decided that it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't live
This is incredibly beautiful, you 2 are ever so talented, so musical, so accomplished.
Voice, guitar, song are soul touching.
Accomplished means she is successful and earned a lot money. I don't think that is the case here.
Beautiful
Love your voice ❤👍
Holy holy beautiful.
Actually a poem by Robert Burns set to a tradritional melody.
