Dipper Malkin Album Launch Show at The Slaughtered Lamb

Dipper Malkin are a captivating new duo, who are rapidly earning a reputation for elevating traditional music to new heights of sturdy beauty and sophistication.

With their highly-anticipated debut release, Tricks of the Trade, in January 2017, it is clear that Dipper Malkin realise that they are the lucky benefactors of previous generations’ invention, celebrating their inheritance through every note, whilst avoiding the trap of complacency by offering their own inventions.

Dipper Malkin is the “potent combination” (Folk Radio UK) of two musicians that have spent their careers to date involved in groundbreaking projects. John Dipper (viola d’amore) was one third of The English Acoustic Collective alongside Chris Wood and Robert Harbron and currently works with string quartet Methera, while Dave Malkin (guitar, voice) was a founding member of trio Tandem, stylishly combining traditionally informed compositions with live electronics.
