We are a Cornwall based acoustic duo with a passion for storytelling, nature and adventure.
We have just finished recording our first EP 'Sonnets of the Green' which we recorded in our living room. The songs are inspired by space, Dartmoor and the simple pleasures in life.
We have both come from very different musical backgrounds. Ben has been in multiple bands from the age of 17 ranging from punk to reggae, and also produces his own intricate instrumental music. Jessie has been writing acoustic songs since a very young age, and also spent 3 years studying musical theatre. The Minstrel and the Bard is a combination of all of our experiences so far.
'Fickle Fire', our first single, was the first song we wrote together on the living room floor, so we thought it was fitting to release this first. It is one of the five songs to feature on 'Sonnets of the Green'.
We hope you enjoy it!
