A special one-off expanded band tour for the critically acclaimed folk duo.
Following the success of their 2022 release Ink Of The Rosy Morning on Topic Records, Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage spent much of 2023 touring with the legendary Fairport Convention.
Now, with their new album In The Dark We Grow and a live show line-up featuring the inimitable Jon Thorne (Lamb, James Yorkston) on double bass, Hannah and Ben hit the road for the first time with a band of their own. Already so well known for their moving live performances, this unique musical collaboration promises to be balm for weariest ears.
“As heartwarming as it is beguiling” MOJO – Top 10 Folk Albums of 2022
Since emerging in 2016, Hannah and Ben have been defying all conventions of style, genre and compartmentalisation. A touch of ‘Americana’, yet quintessentially English. Traditional, yet contemporary, with their individual writing style. Playful and instinctive, they make music with such panache and natural chemistry it makes perfect sense.
“Enchantingly beautiful music” The Mirror
Hannah Sanders has an alluring mystique and a voice of disarming purity that massages your senses. Ben Savage is a singular guitarist with a sound as distinctive as it is innovative. Together their harmonies and unique stage presence shimmer with an infectious passion and joy for the connection music offers.
“Bewitching harmonies, tasteful twin guitars and a dreamy quality that lingers long after the music ends.” Daily Express
