Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer's Reviews

Just to write that Vicki and Jonny are multi-instrumentalists would seriously underplay their capabilities. Both are superb musicians. As they get older they are performers that just keep on giving and, perhaps best of all, stay fresh.

These two versatile and clever musicians play a range of instruments: Jonny plays guitars and accordion, while Vicki plays flute, Scottish smallpipes and the very unusual Swedish Nyckelharpa! Between them, they played two lovely 45 minute sets, including some self-written songs and tunes; traditional English and Swedish material; and a few songs with 'joining in bits', such as 'Billy Boy', 'The 'Ampton Railway' and 'Follow me Home' from their latest CD. All in all, a lovely and varied concert which showed us why Vicki & Jonny are in such great demand around the clubs and festivals.
