"Kerensa is an assured & devastatingly skillful hammered dulcimer who delivers a performance, which is innovative, energetic & confident". She is probably still best known for her early work with Tim van Eyken & as the founder member of the Acoustic Youth Band. These ensembles led to a track recorded for the first Mrs. Casey's 'Evolving Tradition' album & appearances at venues such as the South Bank & Barbican Centre's in London & at some of the U.K's top folk festivals. Since returning to her hometown of Truro, Kerensa has been concentrating on rediscovering her roots. She has continued to perform in various lineups including the Cornish band 'Ahanan' with whom she recorded a track for the first ever Cornish/English bilingual film 'Bittersweet' & more recently in collaboration with the fantastic singer/songwriter/guitarist Steve Hunt.Richard grew up surrounded by music & began playing fiddle at the age of 8. He soon joined a community fiddle group 'Bagas Crowd' & it was during this time that he came into contact with and learnt from some of Cornwall's foremost traditional players. Now considered by many to be one of Cornwall's finest, Richard has taken his influences and experience and developed his own unique style of fiddle playing. Since enrolling on the Folk degree in Newcastle he has also discovered a love for singing which must be in his genes. He has grabbed this opportunity to develop his singing style & technique under the watchful eye of some of the countries finest traditional singers.

Kerensa and Richard met at a local session and decided to get together for a one off charity gig in 2007. The musical rapport shared by the duo was apparent from the moment they set foot on stage: from stomping fiddle sets, to Cornish dance tunes & slow airs - the audience was hooked & the response they received was overwhelming. They knew then that there would be no looking back!

In 2008 Leski recorded their debut album. The CD’s sold out within weeks and they received great reviews and airplay across the UK and abroad. The album also led to the duo being runners up in Fatea Magazines Tradition 2008 award which was aimed at recognizing acts "that have traditional folk at the root of their sound and use it to inspire new songs, tunes and arrangements".

"Whether playing in a session, performing in an intimate folk club setting or entertaining on a main festival stage, Leski are guaranteed to capture an inspiring rapport with their audience and leave them wanting more…"
