Event information
Steve Knightley and Phil Beer are widely acknowledged as the finest acoustic roots duo in England.
Knightley, who writes most of their inspired material and Beer, a dazzling multi instrumentalist, have built up a huge following which has seen them sell out the Royal Albert Hall three times, headline major festivals from Glastonbury to WOMAD and playing all over the world, from Europe to America, Australia and India.
Voted Best Live Act by the public at the 2004 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the jury is still out on just what kind of music they play. A genre defying mix of rock, roots, blues, country and trad, and often influenced by the music of other countries, it is played out on an array of instruments from slide guitar to fiddle, mandolin to South American cuatro.
Show of Hands are now joined by Miranda Sykes, who has been performing with them since 2004, augmenting their unique sound with her powerful double bass and rich harmonies. In this time the band have moved on from their folk duo image, and evolved into a hard hitting acoustic band, selling out UK and European tours and headlining some of the biggest festivals across the world.
Come to Gillingham Methodist Church in North Dorset to see and hear this exciting group in concert. The acoustics are great and we even have comfy seats!
Doors open at 7.15pm for an 8pm start. All seats are unreserved.
