Kyson Point are husband and wife duo Kelly and David Booth. Both critically-acclaimed artists in their own right, they now bring their individual songwriting and performance skills together in one heart-felt place. Built on a foundation of David’s evocative guitar playing and Kelly’s lyrical piano, the couple craft contemporary folk music inspired by stories and moods found all around us in the natural world, alongside timeless reflections on what it is to be human. Their writing is gently shaped by the sounds of classic Laurel Canyon, traditional folk songs, the wide-open Suffolk skies and waters where they live, and the rugged Pennine Hills of David’s upbringing. The couple both released solo albums in 2023, but Kelly’s ‘Wave Machine’ - under the name Kelly Bayfield - and David’s ‘All My Days’ were very much joint efforts in all respects. ‘Underwater Sky’ is Kyson Point’s first official album as a duo.
“a staggeringly confident set … Kelly and David build incredible songs around the words…”

Kelvin Davies and Chloe Turner are rooted in beautifully harmonized voices and intricate guitar work. Their soulful voices and heartfelt performances are captivating. Tapping deep into the history of acoustic roots music and delivering sounds from a past time, expect to hear wonderful self-penned songs material as well as stunning versions of songs by folk legends such as The Carter Family, The Delmore Brothers and more. Their new EP, ‘Some Songs That We Like’ is certainly one to be on the lookout for!
Roots music with a British twang!

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 is always so special playing Cambridge Folk Club. It has a special place in our hearts and has such a unique atmosphere. No other Folk Club I have ever played comes close."

Maddie Morris sent us this after performing at the Folk Club on 16th February 2024:

"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."
