Folk duo to play Bristol charity gig

By Laura Williams  Monday Jan 26, 2015

Two of the UK’s most talented folk musicians, Miranda Sykes and Rex Preston, head to Bristol this month for a charity benefit gig.

The show, which takes place on February 27 at Westbury on Trym village hall, will raise money for Parkinsons UK.

In the space of two short years, Miranda Sykes and Rex Preston have emerged to become one of the most sought after duos on the English folk and roots scene.
