Bio

The Raven are Stephen Moncrieff on guitar /vocals, and Carolyn Forbes on vocals/flute/guitar. We perform our own arrangements of traditional folk songs from Britain and Australia as well as covers of some of our favourite folk-style songs, and a few self-penned pieces. Separately both Ste, from Liverpool, and Caz, from Australia, have been playing and performing for many years.

Ste originally played saxophone, performing in bands and as a session musician in Liverpool. Since moving to London he moved to playing guitar, having been influenced by artists such as John Martyn and Nick Drake.

Caz comes from a family of musicians, and has been singing since she was very young. She was introduced to folk music in her teens and has enjoyed performing solo and in groups ever since.

Ste and Caz met a number of years ago at a gig they were both involved, but it was not until 2008 that they started working and performing together in London. Since this time they have played in a number of London venues, including folk clubs and acoustic music nights both as featured acts and in open mics/floor spots.
