Mark, once half of legendary radio double-act Mark and Lard, has been on the national airwaves since the early nineties and currently hosts the Radio 2 Folk Show and weekend breakfast on 6Music with Stuart Maconie. He was the leader of folk-rock bands The Family Mahone and Galleon Blast and has also written five bestselling books about music. His most recent publication is ‘Et tu, cavapoo – one man and his dog in Rome’ which he has co-authored with his canine companion Arlo.
David Boardman is a consummate guitarist, singer, songwriter and fine artist who has exhibited at The Biscuit Factory in his native Newcastle and also at The Oxo Tower in London
Their acclaimed live shows, which have taken them across the UK and also into Spain and Portugal, feature rambling anecdotes from Mark’s mystifyingly long career, along with some thought-provoking, borderline depressing original songs and the odd carefully selected cover.
Their debut album ‘First Light’ is now followed by their sophomore offering ‘Hearsay and Heresy’ which is released by Talking Elephant records and has attracted extensive national and local radio airplay.
