BBC award-winning duo, Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, known as Edgelarks, are to perform at the Victoria Hall, Radstock, on Sunday, 25th March.

The pair’s new project takes the roots of their previous work, from the traditional musics of the British Isles to Indian classical slide guitar to the stomping roots party of Phil’s beatbox harmonica. Add to that a strong stem of original writing which runs wilder with each repeat play.

‘Edgelarks’, (one of MOJO Magazine’s Top Ten Folk Albums of 2017) is Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin’s most innovative work to date. As well as being their fourth studio album, it also marks the genesis of a brand new band name.

From recording their first album, ‘Singing the Bones’, at home in their living room in the dead of night, they have gone on to produce three more records, each time refining the process and honing their production skills – ‘Mynd’, ‘Live in Calstock’, and ‘Watershed’ (which garnered them a second nomination for Best Duo at the BBC Folk Awards in 2016).

The duo have toured extensively from the UK to Japan, South Africa, Canada and Australia. Collaborations saw them team up with Peter Knight (ex-Steeleye Span) to form the Gigspanner Big Band; and join Show of Hands as part of their Wake the Union band for a very special show at the Royal Albert Hall on Easter Sunday, 2017.
