A Hawk And A Hacksaw + The Acorn + Nancy Elizabeth
An embarrassment of riches for the festivals closing concert at the West Yorkshire Playhouse:
A Hawk And A Hacksaw preview material from their new album Delivrance (released May 2009 on The Leaf Label) in this exclusive UK performance. The journey of Jeremy Barnes (vocals, accordion, drums) and Heather Trost (violin) has so far embraced the sounds of myriad places and people. From the midlands of England, to France, Czech Republic, Romania and Hungary, via the pairs hometown of Albuquerque, this evolving musical story continues to enthral. Dlivrance finds our intrepid duo forging deeper into the heart of olde worlde culture, and coming back with a suite of dazzling folk jams for times of revelry.
First-class folk The Guardian
Anchored by vivid songwriting and eclectic instrumentation, The Acorn are quickly becoming one of Canadas most talked about musical exports. As readers of MOJO and the Observer may know, Glory Hope Mountain by The Acorn was Guy Garveys favourite record of last year, with the Elbow singer championing them on his radio show and inviting them as special guests on the bands UK tour in March. Catch this date in Leeds before they go on to All Tomorrows Parties later this month
Nancy Elizabeths pure voice - backed by delicately plucked guitar or atmospheric piano playing matches the allure of her gracious stage presence. Currently putting the finishing touches to her new piano-led, second album for The Leaf Label she has also recently been recording with James Yorkston and Susumu Yokota as well as playing with Efterklang, Tunng, Rachel Unthank and The Winterset, with friends and allies in folk clubs and concert halls and cafes in Mexico, Spain, Manchester and beyond.
