Show of Hands brings its inimitable music to Town Hall, crossing from folk roots into blues, rock, country, trad and world.

Comprising of singer songwriter Steve Knightley and multi instrumentalist Phil Beer, Show of Hands were 2010 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards double winners. As well as winning the Best Duo Award, their title track from their acclaimed new studio album Arrogance Ignorance and Greed, won Best Original Song at the Awards.

Tonight the band will showcase Arrogance Ignorance and Greed, as well as delving into their rich back catalogue of original material. They will be accompanied by double bass player and vocalist Miranda Sykes.
