Philip Henry and Hannah Martin play The Queens Head, Belper on September 14th. Admission £8. Doors at 8.00pm.
This much acclaimed duo play folk music but not as you may have heard it. Drawing on influences as diverse as Indian and Appalaichan roots, they re-interpret traditional music via slide guitar, ,banjo and harmonica supporting the soaring vocals of Hannah Martin.
From Maida Vale to Tennessee they have quickly drawn an appreciative and ever growing audience. And now, one week before they play The Queens Head, their second album 'Mynd' has drawn a rapturous 4 star review from The Guardian. Described as 'bravely original' by Robin Denselow, the album combines traditional material with their own compositions and looks set to launch them on the trajectory already followed by Seth Lakeman. Discovered by Steve Knightley of Show of Hands, this is an ideal opportunity to catch them before bigger venues beckon.
An autumn treat.
Advance tickets £7 available at the venue or contact mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.

Steve  Ignorant's Slice of Life.
Friday, July 12th.  
Support from Andy T and Chris Butler. Admission £7.

Since joining Crass in 1977, Steve has pursued an amazing recording and performing career. Now he has finally decided to relinquish the Crass back catalogue and he comes to The Queens Head with an acoustic band and an entirely new set of material.

To say that Crass were more than just another band is an understatement and way back in the 1980s they were at the forefront of the anti-globalisation movement whilst not being afraid to involve themselves in sexual politics and animal rights.

This gig is something of a coup and a chance to hear Steve's new set first before it moves up the road to a bigger setting in Manchester. Therefore tickets for Steve and Blyth Power will be available for £10 guaranteeing entrance on both nights.
A midsummer treat !
