The Askew
Sisters at Walthamstow Folk
Sunday 10th
January
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 and February's
programme. Later months will be added shortly.
