Skinner & T’witch have been on the road since 2014; released five albums; and have performed widely around the UK. They have toured both in Australia and the US.

They're delighted that they went down an absolute storm in each of their beautiful gigs last year:

22.21.24 - Waveney Folk Club

'Skinner & T’witch were amazing. What a skilful, entertaining performance, with plenty of good humour to put a smile on everyones face. Thank you, Skinner & T’witch, for giving the Waveney Folk Club such a fantastic night of entertainment.' Waveney Folk Club

8.11.24 - Lindley Bowling Club, Huddersfield

‘It was a great night with this very talented pair. We had seen their “You Tube” presentation beforehand, so we had high expectations, and we were not disappointed. From the outset of the show their warmth, humour, and originality shone through. Acoustic folk music, mainly written by Steve Skinner, was moving, humorous, and at times quite thought provoking. Steve played a range of interesting instruments that were complimented by Sandra’s clear and melodic singing. It was a very interactive show between themselves and with our fully sold out audience, who thoroughly enjoyed the evening. There was something for everyone.' Lindley Bowling Club

8.9.24 - Wurzel Bush Folk Club, Rugby

‘Skinner & T'witch are 2 of the funniest folk comedians around. They will have you rolling in the aisles. Not to be missed.’

16.8.24 - Colindale Barnet Folk Club, London

‘Skinner & T'witch gave a great performance, with songs of imagination, comedy and sheer beauty. I rate Skinner & T'witch's performance of their song 'How Can I Compare Thee' to be one of the finest songs I have ever heard in a folk club." Colindale Barnet Folk Club, London

9.7.24 - St Neots Folk Club

'We welcomed Skinner and Twitch to St Neots Folk Club and what a welcome they gave us in return!! Superb guitar playing and, with vocals to match, an enjoyable evening was had by all. Skinner & T'witch thoroughly entertained the audience with their songs and music. They played an interesting variety of instruments accompanied by be-'witching' vocals. The set was varied, ranging from traditional to mellow self-penned numbers, and even biting parodies. A good time was had by all. It was such a good evening - laughter all the way, and such a quirky inventive duo'. St Neots Folk Club

6.7.24 - Orpington Liberal Club

'The audience were delighted with Skinner & T'witch's comical renditions, plus some folk and flamenco, and their expertly polished performance. Steve Skinner writes the songs and is an accomplished musician. Sandra has a great voice, and when they harmonise the sound is second to none. Their personalities and sense of humour shine through, wowing the audience. Until the duo perform in your locality, check out some samples of their work on YouTube, but do see Skinner & T'witch live, they are terrific!' Orpington Liberal Club

8.6.24 - The Black Dyke Mills Heritage Centre

'Many thanks to Skinner & T'witch for an excellent show last night at the mill. Great songs, with laughter and a touch of flamenco - who could ask for more!' The Black Dyke Mills Heritage Venue

11.5.24 - Ashby Arts Festival

'Wonderful show. Great story telling and wonderful songs. Skinner & T'witch's simple choruses even had our French guests singing along. They were amazing!' Ashby Arts Festival

13.4.24 - Raising the Rafters Folk Club

'A huge 'thank you' to the amazing Skinner & T'witch for a brilliant gig, and to all who supported our virtually full-to-standing club. They are polished, they are funny, and those harmonies have to be heard to be believed! Fantastic! We loved every minute of it and so did the audience'. Raising the Rafters Folk Club

20.3.24 - Banbury Folk Club

'Skinner & T'witch are a very entertaining duo, who kept our audience spellbound, and singing along, the whole evening. Highly recommended.' Banbury Folk Club

19.3.24 - Bracknell Folk Club

'It was a joy to have Skinner & T'witch perform for us. We had some good chuckles, brief interludes of pathos, and perhaps even occasional bathos, some bits to join in with, and we all left with a glow. What more could you ask?' Bracknell Folk Club

23.2.24 - Ripon Wilfrid's Folk Club

'A great duo, with a lovely rapport and humorous banter between each other,
which they extended to the audience through the evening. Singing and playing mostly their own songs, they sang with passion and obvious enjoyment, which stimulated audience participation. A thoroughly enjoyable evening'. Ripon Wilfrid's Folk Club
