| Boyd
and Wain are an award winning Anglo American Americana/Folk
duo. Their music is pure roots and rhythm and the songs are compelling,
home grown tales of everyday life… Katy pokes
fun as easily as she tells a story of unfulfilled dreams. The sound
is honest and original, the vocals are passionate and Benny’s
fiddlin’ is just plain brilliant.
In a previous life, Katy Boyd won
the prestigious USA West Coast Songwriter’s Association’s
annual contest. She ran off to England for adventure, and stayed.
Benny Wain has been playing fiddle in festivals,
pubs and concert halls since the age of 12, sharing stages with
the Oyster Band, Shane McGowan, the Dubliners and Davey Arthur.
They are playing major festivals all over the UK, including the
Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival. Their debut
CD Ain’t No Fairy Tale debuted in the RMR
Folk Chart in June this year at position 36, and is getting
great reviews across the UK. Last year they won the notable Trowbridge
Village Pump Festival Unsigned Artist Competition.
