Winners of 2014's BBC Radio Two Folk Award for Best Duo, Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, have come a long way on their journey.

In 2009, Phillip, one of the UK's finest slide guitarists and harmonica players, moved into a tent in south Devon. He had his tent, his car, and a five year plan to earn a living through his music. He met Devonian fiddle-singer Hannah Martin, and the pair instantly recognised a very powerful musical connection. The pair's first album, Singing The Bones, was released in 2011 to warm praise. Their second studio album, Mynd, was released to great acclaim in September 2013, appearing in end of year best-ofs for The Guardian, The Telegraph, fRoots Critics Poll, Mark Radcliffe's Radio Two Top Ten, and Songlines. They were voted Best Duo at the Radio Two Folk Awards almost exactly five years since Phillip sat in his tent and made his plan!

The alchemy of Martin's ever evocative songwriting, fiddle and banjo playing and the much extolled skills of Henry on dobro, harmonica and lap steel fuse into a wholly distinctive world sound - songs of lament, tunes of hope, and totally unpredictable twist and turn music.

"One of the best duos on the planet" - Mike Harding

Kyle Carey will be making her third visit to Leicester, having previous played with Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker. A singer of Gaelic Americana, she has, in Mike Harding's words, "a voice to die for" and both hr albums have been acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic.
