Guitarist Bob Templeman and singer Annette Burrows dropped into the Invisible Folk Club for a session of songs and conversation with host Jon Bickley. Bob's intricate guitar is the perfect foil for Annette's exquisite vocals as they perform a carefully chosen mix of quality songs. The set balances material from the traditional folk and jazz canon with songs you would not expect to hear in this context. No clues I'm afraid, just listen. I guarantee a few eyebrows will be raised along the way.
