and Roger Watson

Concert & Workshops for Festivals, Clubs and Arts Centres

Roger's workshops:
New Songs for Old. Songwriting based on traditional songs.
and Arranging dance music, starting from the underlying rhythmic and harmonic infrastructure. (For all instruments.)

Robb's workshop:
Our lives. Our songs - the gentle art of contemporary songwriting

Robb and Rogerl offer workshops and a single stage performance as a duo, Roger playing melodeon on Robb's songs (he's just done so for Robb's upcoming album) and Robb accompanying Roger on tunes.

ROGER WATSON
A veteran of influential groups from Muckram Wakes to Boka Halat, and, of course, one of Robb Johnson's Irregulars, as well as director of TAPS (Traditional Arts Project) he brings a wealth of personal knowledge to the table. After his stroke, Roger no longer sings, but is back to playing the melodeon, offering festival workshops, and duoing-up with his old friend Robb Johnson.

ROBB JOHNSON
Robb Johnson says he’s just a bloke with a guitar. He is. But he’s one who has chronicled our times: painting the less-than-sunny political landscape in the moonlight of the personal. Just like a folk singer should.

• "An English original" - Robin Denselow, The Guardian
• "Love songs as touching as the political material is sharp." - Red Pepper
• “One of this country’s most important songwriters (no argument!)” -(fRoots)
• "There is no songwriter to compare with Robb Johnson operating in the UK" - R2
