Sykesmartin

SykesMartin is the exciting collaboration from two of British folk’s finest voices. Miranda Sykes (Show of Hands) and Hannah Martin (Edgelarks, Gigspanner Big Band) join forces to present a set of songs that take them back to their shared roots.

Having played together on numerous occasions, including in Steve Knightley’s Wake the Union band, and at the Royal Albert Hall, Miranda Sykes and Hannah Martin knew that they shared an instinctive ear for harmony and skilled instrumental improvisation. A sociable Devon winter evening led to an exchange of songs, which proved to be so much fun that they soon arranged another musical get-together. Swiftly, these became rehearsal sessions, as a strong new sound emerged.

Centred around their deep knowledge of roots music and a love of harmony singing, SykesMartin brings together old songs with new ideas, ancient tales with double bass, fiddle, and banjo, and two mesmerising storytellers joining voices to create a spine-tingling testimonial to our shared musical heritage.

This event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.

Presented by Kings Place.

This is a 14+ event.
