March 2014 will see two US folk legends - Tom Paxton and Janis Ian - bring their Together At Last Tour to the UK for nine exclusive shows.
Each with ties to the classic Greenwich Village folk scene, Paxton and Ian are nearly a generation apart yet share a slew of folk influences as well as an affinity for fearlessly tackling controversial issues.
Always armed only with his acoustic guitar, Paxton emerged in the days of hootenannies and wrote his share of what were then called protest songs. But he also wrote songs about love, humour and for kids. Many became oft-covered standards, including Bottle of Wine, Ramblin' Boy and The Last Thing on My Mind.
At 15, Ian had a major pop hit with the then-provocative Society's Child, a taboo-busting meditation about an interracial romance. She re-emerged a decade later in the mid-'70s with her biggest hit the reflective At Seventeen, which won a Grammy.
Performing together on stage in the UK for the very first time, the Together At Last Tour will present Tom Paxton and Janis Ian singing all their best known songs plus a whole host more.
Speaking about the shows, Paxton said:
"It's going to be very different from what people might expect. It's not your generic split bill. We take the stage together and we stay onstage together most of the time, singing on one another's songs."
Paxton and Ian will also be accompanied on the tour by internationally renowned multi-instrumentalist, Robin Bullock.
