KC Jones + Tu-kay and Ryan @ The Courtyard

KC Jones

KC Jones are Karen Killeen-Jones (award winning songwriter) and her husband Colin Jones, both experienced singers and musicians. They come from Nuneaton in Warwickshire and perform mostly original songs, but also some traditional and contemporary covers, with instrumentation such as guitar, mandolin, accordion, melodica and whistle. Known for their catchy and thought provoking songs, fine vocals and close harmonies, and sense of humour, an entertaining set is always promised from this folk duo.
Their second album “Roots” featuring such guest musicians as Keith Donnolly and Lauren South, has received critical acclaim, as has Karen’s solo EP “A Woman’s Work”.   This is what they say about KC Jones and their music:

  • “Great arrangements and fine vocals always ensure a very entertaining set from this duo”
  • “Well what can I say but WOW!! True artistes that you are, you had the audience in the palms of your hands last night, mesmerised by the beauty of your melodies and the emotions radiating from your songs”
  • “Spellbinding” “KC Jones really know how to write good songs. Their music feels like dressing poetry with bespoke melodies creating a unique soundscape”

Tu-kay & Ryan 

Tu-kay & Ryan are a multi award winning Northamptonshire based acoustic duo, blurring the lines between folk, Americana and roots music. They have become known for their lush harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. Their songs encourage a positive outlook on life, even when things may be tough. They are optimists at heart and believe there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how small or distant it may seem.

Harp & a Monkey perform ‘Tall Tales & Truths’ @ The Courtyard
Jun 8 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

We are delighted to have award-winning modern folk song and storytelling trio Harp & a Monkey joining us for one of our special ‘in the courtyard’ matinee shows.

Their ‘Tall Tales & Truths’ show will feature traditional and original songs and stories that run the gamut from Naked Lifesavers, to ill-fated Medieval pilgrims, and gorilla gardeners to bare-knuckle boxers.

Critically acclaimed, these Lancastrian troubadours have been touring their wares for the best part of two decades and are stalwarts of the British folk scene. For the uninitiated, expect beguiling stories and music in which humour and poignancy seamlessly intertwine under a unique sound bed of accordions, harps, banjos, glockenspiels and more.
