Mark Radcliffe and David Boadman are singing, songwriting, strumming, and swigging buddies from the badlands of the Cheshire Plain.
They’re bringing their two-man show to the Music Room on Tuesday 4th November 2025 but you’d best be quick because tickets are now limited.
Mark Radcliffe has been on BBC national radio since the early nineties. Alongside Marc Riley, Mark and Lard were Radio 1 staples from 1991 to 2004. Mark now hosts the Radio 2 Folk Show and weekend breakfast on 6Music. He is also the author of five bestselling books, the latest being Crossroads – In Search Of The Moments That Changed Music.
Previously a member of folk-rock bands The Family Mahone and Galleon Blast, Radcliffe is currently one half of electronic duo UNE and drummer and lyricist for Americana band Fine Lines whose lead singer and guitarist is… David Boardman.
A consummate guitarist and guitar teacher, David Boardman cut his teeth on the rock circuit with Darktown Jubilee touring not only the UK but also North America and Canada. A gifted visual artist, Boardman met Radcliffe in their hometown of Knutsford where their writing partnership soon began to flourish.
Their act is one of classic simplicity: two voices, two guitars, some great original songs, the odd carefully chosen cover and the occasional rambling anecdote.
September saw the release of the duo’s second album Heresay & Heresy on which they have somehow managed to hit the sweet spot between David wanting to do dozens of takes before carefully selecting the best bits and Mark thinking it was alright the first time!
So come and join Mark and David at the Music Room on 4th November for what’s set to be a special evening of music and banter.
