Subject: Best duo nominees at Old Chapel, Alfriston
Hello
Our next show is at the Old Chapel in
Alfriston on Saturday 8th November (7.30pm)
when Belinda O'Hooley and Heidi Tidow come
to play for us?..
Belinda O'Hooley is a former member of the
hugely popular group, The Unthanks, and together with the multi-talented Heidi
Tidow, they are seen as one of the strongest song-writing partnerships on the
contemporary folk scene.
Nominated for Best Duo at this year's
BBC Folk Awards, they have the originality and skill to invite
comparison with the folk scene's most celebrated North American harmony duos,
from early Simon and Garfunkel to the iconic Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
Their music is defiant, immensely moving
and inspiring.
Listen to them live or via their last
album and you'll find they deal with such issues as declining industry, social
atomisation, the death of the local pub, pussy riots, corporate domination and
suicide bombers.
?.. Peculiar Brood
will probably bring a lump to your throat - it tells the story of a
suicide bomber from a mothers' perspective..take a listen -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYK7NYlPOwU&feature=youtu.be
