GI Music Lounge Skinner & T’witch are an original, contemporary folk acoustic duo, performing folk, flamenco, and theatre-style songs. Drawing on music-hall and vaudeville traditions, Skinner & T’witch combine comedy and satire with folk, flamenco and theatre-style songs. Their influences include Flanders and Swann, Jake Thackray, Noel Coward, Kurt Weill, Leonard Cohen, Bert Jansch, and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. They have released five albums; performed widely around the UK; and have toured in both Australia and the US. Steve Skinner has a background in musical theatre, having managed a theatre company and toured the country with musical reviews as a professional songwriter, specialising in comedy and satire. Sandra Twitchett (T’witch) has a classical training, and a passion for choral music and singing, but is a folk-rock chick at heart. She has an excellent ear for sound production and harmony singing, which contributes to the distinctive Skinner & T’witch sound. ‘Skinner & T’witch are unique: there is nobody to compare them with. A pair of comic geniuses’. The Living Tradition ‘Some things just work. Skinner & T’witch are one of those things.
