Heading fast towards 25 years in the business (to be celebrated at Royal Albert Hall next Easter), the incomparable Show of Hands reunite for a bumper autumn-winter tour of England and Wales starting November 1.
The multi award-winning, Albert Hall quadruple sell-out duo (stand-out singer songwriter Steve Knightley and inspired instrumentalist Phil Beer) will be joined by their long-standing double bassist/vocalist Miranda Sykes for the
23-date “Walk With Me” tour.
Kicking off at Taunton’s Brewhouse Theatre in Somerset the tour finale will be no less than three nights back in their home county of Devon on December 8, 9 and 10 at Exmouth Pavilion – just yards from the folk club where they first started playing. They will also play a flagship gig at London’s Hackney Empire.
Recognised as leading ambassadors for roots music, Show of Hands will be performing songs from their latest studio album The Long Road Home which was nominated for Best Album at this year’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and which includes Knightley’s BBC Radio 2 playlisted Walk with Me (When the Sun Goes Down) from which the tour takes its name.
Opening for them will be 27 year-old Oxfordshire singer songwriter Megan Henwood winner of the 2009 BBC Young Folk Award. Her rich, distinctive voice and niche-defying music has come to fruition in her latest album Head, Heart, Hand and in her sublime new duo with fellow songstress Jackie Oates.
