The duo that is Cambridge and Walker was the result of a mutual interest in traditional songs, especially harmony singing, arising from individual performances at Black Fen Folk Club. David (Cambridge) sings and plays guitar/guzouki ; Jenna (Walker) sings and plays melodeon/piano. During the festival season of 2016, David and Jenna decided to actually try singing as a duo and have appeared at Ely, Cambridge & Bury Folk Festivals .
