Friday 17th October 2025:
Elizabeth and Jameson
Support: Robert Brown
At the Golden Hind, 355 Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 1SP
8pm (Doors open 7:30pm)
Entry: £12(door), £10(advance), £8(members).
Hannah Elizabeth (vocals/violin) and Griff Jameson (vocals/guitar) first met whilst touring and performing in other acts on the UK acoustic folk-roots scene, eventually partnering to release material for the first time as a duo in 2016. Merging their individual backgrounds of traditional folk and folk pop/rock, they have created a stunning acoustic folk-roots duo, with original songs rich in emotive storytelling and a harmony-driven sound featuring guitar, violin and exquisite vocals.
Their concrete musical partnership as a duo was closely followed by the release of their debut album Northern Shores & Stories in 2020 - as well as their marriage later that same year.
Elizabeth & Jameson have since become mainstays of the UK acoustic folk-roots scene. In addition to their own extensive tour dates, the duo have opened for the likes of Turin Brakes, Scott Matthews and Jools Holland, and have performed at some of the UK’s biggest acoustic and folk clubs and festivals.
Recent festival highlights include Cambridge Folk Festival, The Great British Folk Festival, The British Country Music Festival and Camp Bestival.
The duo are excited to be self-releasing their second studio album, Way Out West this October alongside a UK-wide tour of live dates to promote their newest material.

Praise for the Folk Club
Lester Lloyd Reason of The Lights made the following comment after they had performed at the Folk Club on 28th March 2025:
" it
"Cambridge Folk Club is an example of what a folk club should look like, and the direction I hope the folk scene continues to go in. With a commitment both to the tradition, and to creating events that welcome everyone. Cambridge Folk Club is a warm, welcoming and safe atmosphere for artists and audiences and a true embodiment of what folk music should be. People coming together, sharing music, laughter and community through song. The team are welcoming, friendly and helpful, the sound is beautiful and the audiences are appreciative."
