Two of the UK’s most iconic voices have finally combined as a duo and will be touring a new album in 2025. Miranda and Jim have known each other for nearly 20 years, and in 2024 they united with John Palmer to create and tour a show celebrating the centenary of the death of the song collector and author Sabine Baring-Gould.
They enjoyed working together so much and audience feedback was so positive that they made plans to record and tour an album together. “The Last Of The Singers” is a collection of traditional, self penned and contemporary songs bringing their magical voices together.
