Accompanied by striking double bass player/ vocalist Miranda Sykes, England’s finest acoustic roots act will be showcasing their new album Wake the Union, a journey through the heart of two landscapes (UK & North America) united by a common tongue and musical heritage.

Their inimitable music, crossing from folk roots into blues, rock, country, trad and world, is played out on an array of instruments from slide guitar to fiddle, mandolin to South American cuatro. A whole world in one gig.

Miranda will be kicking off the show with partner Rex Preston (mandolin & vocals).
