WINNERS of Best Duo at the 2014 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin appear at The Forge in The Anvil on Friday, May 2 at 7.45pm. 

Recently described as “authentic, haunting roots music from a first class duo” (Seth Lakeman), Phillip and Hannah are two musicians with a fast growing following: Phillip one of the UK’s top slide guitarists and harmonica players; Hannah a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist writing mainly on fiddle, viola and banjo. 

Having just completed two tours with Show Of Hands, they have been receiving very warm reviews of their début album, Singing The Bones, and Mike Harding said of their 2013 release MYND: "On hearing the first notes of the first track I knew that I was listening to a modern classic. One of the most exciting albums I've heard in years".
