About this event
Critically acclaimed folk duo Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage join forces with virtuoso double bassist Jon Thorne for a special one-off UK tour. With their vintage guitars and heartfelt harmony vocals sharing just a single microphone for pickup, Hannah & Ben’s live shows have always been magical, intimate experiences. This special collaboration with Thorne’s unmistakably rich tone and musical intuition promises to be a balm for the soul. “Arrestingly beautiful” Songlines Sanders has an alluring mystique and a voice of disarming purity that massages your senses. Savage is a singular guitarist with a sound as distinctive as it is innovative. Together their harmonies and unique stage presence shimmer with an infectious enthusiasm and joy for the connection music offers. They remain passionate advocates for the singularity of a live performance – no night of a Hannah & Ben tour is ever the same – but each one is special. ‘As heartwarming as it is beguiling’ MOJO ‘Really lovely!’ Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio2 Folk Show Suitable for ages 14+
