Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton will bring their unique sound to The Theatre at Washington, Va. this weekend. This will be the fourth annual concert they’ve performed locally in as many years and they hope to make it an annual event.
Barnes and Hampton have a home in Rock Mills where they live part time. They spend much of (each year traveling and performing all over the world. This past year they spent the entire spring on their new album “Wassail,” which is Old English and means “be in good health.” They have recorded 13 albums in all.

It includes well known hymns such as “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Silent Night” and “How Far Is It lb Bethlehem.” In also features such tunes as “Gloucestershire Wassail,” “Sussex Carol,” “King Herod and the Cock.” “The Wren Suite,” and “Angelus ad Virginem” (a 14th century English melody). And, familiar favorites like “Greensleeves” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” But, hone of them will sound quite the way most people are used to hearing them. The duo have arranged the pieces to showcase their unique style and sound. The album features the sounds of the Celtic harp, played by Hampton, the steel string guitar, lute, Uillean pipes (or Irish bagpipes) and cittern, played by Barnes, the flute, recorder and soprano saxophone, played by Joseph Cunliffe, percussion by Steve Bloom and Tim Anderson on cello.
