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.
