Idiosyncratic Birmingham-based folk singer Katy Rose Bennett celebrates the release of her new acapella vocal album with this return-to-hometown show, accompanied by "The Frankley Beeches", a 4-piece backing group comprised of Siriol Davies, Sam Fox, Joe Bennett & Hannah Rhodes. "Alone On A Hill" is a collection of new songs written and recorded during lockdown and inspired by living in isolation for the last year.
"Fascinating stuff.. sort of 'folk-meets-Laurie Anderson'.." Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2.
"Strikingly Original" - Uncut magazine
"Pushing Boundaries.. a truly fascinating & intriguing album" Folk Radio
Support comes from Abingdon's Benedict Heaney, a brilliant solo electric violinist "with no known musical boundaries", and from Oxford's superb groove driven acapella group The Rivers, performing stunning arrangements of contemporary pop artists from Joni Mitchell to Massive Attack.
