Campfire Club: Jacob & Drinkwater

The Nest Collective invites you to enjoy a beautiful fireside concert with Jacob & Drinkwater.

Rediscover one of life’s simplest joys – the sharing of live music in the glow of a campfire.

Every summer, we gather in beautiful green spaces within cities to hear extraordinary music by artists from all over the world.

In the simple way that people have done for thousands of years, we come together around the fire to enjoy music, food, drink and the company of others.

For this Campfire Club we are delighted to present Jacob & Drinkwater.

Devon-based duo Jacob & Drinkwater have been called ‘stand out new folk’ by BBC 6 Music with their live show described as ‘intense and spellbinding’ by Folk Radio UK. The duo formed in 2014 playing their first gig together at the iconic Glastonbury Festival.

The duo’s dynamic and emotionally charged live show, with all its energy, musical chemistry and spontaneity, has drawn comparisons with the virtuosic pairing of John Martyn and Danny Thompson. Jacob’s sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Drinkwater’s nimbly rhythmic double bass – at times sweetly soaring, haunting, and percussive.
