Geoff is the patriarch of one of folk music’s greatest dynasties.

 

After a lifetime’s work as a national newspaper journalist combined with mastering the fiendish duet concertina, Geoff was persuaded by his three famous musical sons, Seth, Sean and Sam to record his first solo album, entitled After All These Years. Now he’s following in his sons’ footsteps, in demand at folk clubs and festivals, singing and playing that concertina around Devon and Cornwall and beyond.

 

The whole family still live on Dartmoor with its unique inspiration right on their doorstep and Breakwater’s Jane Blanchard and Roger Edwards called in for a chat.

Music is sure to figure in Breakwater’s future creative programme ideas.
