PRESS & BIO
“...a staggeringly confident set... Kelly and David build incredible songs around the words...”
(Fatea - reviewing Wave Machine)
“...one of the finest debuts you’ll hear in the folk meets Americana fields of music...”
(Get Ready To Rock - reviewing Wave Machine)
“...an exquisite collection of modern folk songs... hugely satisfying... honest and unaffected... 5* ”
(RnR - reviewing All My Days)
Kyson Point is husband and wife duo Kelly Bayfield and David Edward Booth.
Contemporary folk music inspired by the wide open Suffolk skies where Kelly and David live, the rugged Pennine hills of David's High Peak roots, classic Laurel Canyon singer songwriters and the stories and moods found all around us in the natural world.
The name Kyson Point (taken from a beautiful location on the River Deben in Suffolk) is new, but Kelly and David's music has been intertwined for some time. The couple released solo albums (Wave Machine and All My Days) in 2023 but they were very much joint efforts in all respects. From Folk East to Maverick festival, Live At Heart and Folk At Heart in Sweden or intimate sold out shows in their home county, they have fine-tuned their live set in recent years to strike the perfect emotional balance.
“By any measure, David is a master of song writing and a compelling singer...”
(Irish Music Magazine - reviewing All My Days)
“Bayfield’s songbird vocal beguiles with great depth of feeling...”
(RnR - reviewing Wave Machine)
