Walthamstow
Folk starts 2016 with The Askew Sisters
Sunday 10th
January
Well the first part of the festive
season is possibly over (!) but new year still to come. Remember the
club will be closed this Sunday 3rd January but back the following week
with The Askew
Sisters.
Emily
and Hazel Askew are
fast becoming one of the most popular and respected duos on the English
folk scene.
From dark ballads
to uplifting dance tunes, they play with driving energy and the unity
of two people who have played together all their lives.
The sisters use
fiddle, melodeon and concertina to breathtaking effect, creating
cinematic arrangements that get to the very heart of each song. These
create a perfect setting for Hazel's striking voice, which won her Best
Female Singer at the Spiral Earth Awards 2011.
Emily and Hazel's
latest album, In the Air or the Earth, was released by RootBeat
Records, to widespread critical acclaim, including the Spiral Earth
Award for Best Traditional Album 2015.
As usual you can pay on the night (but
please be early as evenings can sell out). If you prefer there will be
a limited number of advance tickets available online, follow the links
on the club website.
Tickets are also available for the rest of January's programme. Later
months will be added over the holiday weekend. Have a good one.
