Show of Hands are without a doubt one of the strongest current forces in acoustic music.
An alchemist couldn't have come up with a more potent, magical mix than that of Phil Beer, who can, as The Scotsman observed, "play nearly every stringed instrument known to man" and the inspired Steve Knightley, described by Mike Harding at BBC Radio 2's 2007 Folk Awards as "one of England's greatest singer songwriters".
2007 was a milestone year for England's most popular roots duo – notching up a third sell out gig at the Royal Albert Hall; nominated for Best Duo and Best Original Song (for Roots) at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards; headlining at some 20 major UK festivals from Glastonbury to Cambridge and being invited to support Peter Gabriel at the Eden Project; embarking on solo tours and a German tour and then back home in the UK for two autumn/winter tours.
2008 sees the act continue in the same vein with 26 UK festival appearances including the Lloyds TSB Welsh Proms Cardiff, WOMAD, Sidmouth, Trowbridge and Towersey. Following this the Devon based group, accompanied by the supremely talented Miranda Sykes on double bass & vocals, make a welcome return to Cambridge's The Junction on Tuesday 25th November as part of a tour of standing gigs across the country.
