About the show
BBC Folk Award winners EDGELARKS (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin) combine British folk roots with diverse influences from blues to Indian ragas. They have toured from Canada to South Africa, Australia to Japan.
Soulful songwriting, fiddle and banjo meets dobro virtuosity and party-starting beatbox harmonica, producing a sound like no other.
“Virtuosity, intensity and charisma...Bravely original” - The Guardian
"Extraordinary" - BBC6 Music
Featuring - Edgelarks (Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin)
Phillip plays slide guitar, dobro, harmonica, beatbox harmonica & chatturangui. He is a figurehead for the next generation of English slide guitarists. His virtuoso playing encompasses 360 degrees of influence. He has studied the Delta blues bottleneck for many years and has developed a touch reminiscent of Ry Cooder, while his astounding harmonica technique is inspired by Sonny Terry.
Completing and complimenting this feast of music is Hannah, who is a fine fiddle and banjo player, as well as being a gifted vocalist and songwriter. Her interest in the traditional music scene around Devon (where she grew up) has led to a beautiful catalogue of songs that innovatively blend old traditions and new melodies.
