David Fleming-Williams - Violin
Jonathan Cohen - Piano
Jonathan graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and as a young man
was 'spotted' in London and brought to Cecil Sharp House to fill the vacancy
left by the passing away of the two main 'Society' pianists.
Despite his long and successful musical career in television
he has always
acknowledged the debt that he owes Folk Music.
