2025 is going really swimmingly for Skinner & T'witch, what with Wath Festival, and 3 cracking gigs in our recent Scottish mini tour (Glenfarg, Crail, and Irvine Folk Clubs), in which we went down a storm (again!), plus 2 lovely radio shows (with Ian Oliphant on Glasgow's Celtic Music Radio and Neil Thomson on Crieff's Heartland FM), over the past few weeks!
We feel so lucky to be able to do and share what we love to do, and so proud and honoured to be so well received. ❤️
Thank you so much to the organisers for these marvellous reviews:
'Skinner & Twitch gave a terrific performance for a delighted audience, with such a wide variety of musical genres. The way they bounce off each other with their comedy is so natural. Steve's songwriting makes him right up there with the best on the folk/roots scene. I would urge anybody who has not seen them to take the opportunity to go and see them when they are in your area! Wath Festival
'Brilliant and unique songwriting, with great stories and atmospherics added to the mix, including a rather creepy Halloween song - fab!! The crowd was vey appreciative of Steve and Sandra's professional performance. This was a great night, and we hope to see Skinner & T'witch back at the club in the not too distant future. A unique and fun night.' Glenfarg Folk Club
'Great music, great variety and great personalities. Very inspiring. We didn’t know quite what to expect from Skinner & Twitch on their debut at Irvine, but what we got was almost akin to a music-hall evening and it went down a treat. Their humour, easy rapport with the audience, varied repertoire and skilled guitar playing all added up to a really enjoyable night. Haste ye back!' Irvine Folk Club
'Skinner & T'witch reference Flanders and Swann, Jake Thackray and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. We were in for a treat then! Skinner is a studied song crafter, fine guitarist and singer. T’witch possesses a beautiful voice - classically trained and, boy, it shows. What strikes are some beautifully crafted counterpoint parts to the vocal arrangements...most impressive, and the honed nature of the evening...banter between performers, asides to the audience, punchline timings right down, even, to the raise of an eyebrow - we could almost be sitting in a BBC studio for a Radio Four comedy recording. The material falls broadly into two camps – serious and comic. The serious songs are very beautiful, and the comic stuff pokes holes, is clever, and manages to get us to sing along. A very different night for the folk club. I’d recommend listening to Skinner & T’witch, they definitely have their own thing goin’ on - they’re not like everyone else. Oh, and if you weren’t there - as we say up here – ye missed yersel.' Crail Folk Club
