33rd WHITTLESEA STRAW BEAR FESTIVAL - Concert with Quicksilver (all about Hilary's voice and Grant's guitar-playing and writing. And the chemistry is indeed wonderful: the material (roughly half self-penned) includes all the things you can imagine doing with two voices and an acoustic guitar, plus a good few that you probably can't. Both performers are experienced pros, well known for their on-stage repartee, so the gigs flow seamlessly and are by turns moving, funny, relaxed and occasionally jaw-dropping) - and Pete Coe (His strong, distinctive voice is enhanced by his instrumental versatility, the ringing strings of his bouzouki, the sweet chords of his mountain dulcimer, the plaintive frailing banjo & the pulsing reeds of his melodeon. "it may be easier and quicker to list the talents that Pete Coe doesn’t have." Andy Kershaw, BBCworld see summary WSB tag on the left of this page
