Red Velvet perform the songs of the outsiders, the outlaws and the dispossessed from the folk tradition that these times demand (the “red” part), along with a selection of songs of the heart with a jazzy, edgy, bluesy feel (the “velvet” part). The result is a passionate and sensual set.

“Edgy traditional and contemporary harmonies” – Tony Philips (Cluzion Music).
“Two powerful voices, very nice guitar and a hint of sagebrush…” – Alan Hewson (Baldock & Letchworth Folk Club).
“Emotive versions of folk classics and pop standards” – Julie Watson (Black Fen Folk Club, Cambridge).
“Really rather excellent” – Johnny Black’s Magic Jukebox Show.
“The choice of material was as ever exquisite and delivery immaculate! With Red Velvet you are in no doubt what the song is about and what the issues are!” – Jim Schwabe, Cambridge Folk Club
