Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman

Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman

Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman are a cherished and highly respected duo in the British folk tradition, renowned for their powerful unaccompanied harmony singing and deep commitment to the preservation and performance of traditional song. With a repertoire rooted in the rich musical heritage of the British Isles, they breathe new life into old songs while honouring their authenticity and soul.

Their performances are marked by exquisite vocal blend, emotional depth, and a reverence for the stories embedded in the music. Dave Webber is not only a fine interpreter of traditional material but also an accomplished songwriter—his original songs, often shaped by historical and social themes, sit seamlessly alongside centuries-old ballads. His works, such as The Magpie and Bonnet and Shawl, have become modern folk standards.

Anni Fentiman brings warmth, clarity, and expressive power to every performance. Her deep knowledge of traditional music and her ability to convey the nuance of a song’s story make her a captivating singer in her own right. Together, they form a duo of rare musical understanding and mutual respect, with harmonies that can stir, soothe, or silence a room.

Veterans of the UK folk circuit, Dave and Anni have toured widely, appearing at countless clubs and festivals, and recording several critically acclaimed albums. Beyond the stage, they have been tireless supporters of the folk scene—organising events, running workshops, and mentoring new singers, helping to pass on the oral tradition to the next generation.

We are delighted to welcome Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman back to Bromyard Folk Festival—join them for a spellbinding celebration of harmony, heritage, and heartfelt song.
