Take a walk into the wilderness.
Londoner Lisa Knapp first grabbed the world’s attention with her enthralling 2007 debut ‘Wild and Undaunted’. In 2025, she premiered a new duo with Gerry Diver, deepening a long creative partnership, and earning fresh critical acclaim.
“Folk at its most exalted” ★★★★★ The Observer
Together Knapp & Diver are a force to be reckoned with: fusing folklore and the everyday with dazzling directness. Knapps’ distinctive voice, and poetic precision braid the ancient and contemporary, while Diver’s fiddle virtuosity and trailblazing production, open a bold immersive sound world.
