Show of Hands with Miranda Sykes + Ruarri Joseph

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. 

Show of Hands were Double winners at the 2010 Radio 2 Folk Awards, after being 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. Sensational live, advance booking for this Manchester concert is strongly recommended.

Presented in association with Bang & Olufsen of King Street.

This concert will begin at 8pm.
