HANNAH READ & MICHAEL STARKEY - Live Touring Dates February 2025

 Live Touring Dates February 2025 HANNAH READ & MICHAEL STARKEY plus two very special guests CAHALEN MORRISON and VERA VAN HEERINGEN

Over recent years, Hannah Read and Michael Starkey have fast become one of the most sought-after fiddle-banjo duos on the UK acoustic music scene. Their richly dynamic take on Appalachian old time music has seen them enthrall audiences up and down the country, both during their live shows and on their critically-acclaimed debut duo album 'Cross The Rolling Water', released on Hudson Records. They bring a unique depth of expression to traditional music, looking forwards and reaching out whilst still finding an anchor in its timeless language. At the heart of their sound is the complex and driving rhythmic interplay between fiddle and banjo, which draws the listener in “the way lungs draw in air” (Songlines), as they shine a light on “the powerful essence of the music” (RNR Magazine). To complete their sound they bring a range of old, contemporary and original folk songs, sung with charismatic voices that are “destined to be appreciated for a very long time” (Old Time News). 

They will be joined by Cahalen Morrison for dates throughout Scotland from 5th - 13th February 2025 and Vera Van Heeringen for dates throughout England & Wales from 14th - 23rd February 2025.
