Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage

A special one-off expanded band tour for the critically acclaimed folk duo. Following the success of their 2022 release “Ink Of The Rosy Morning” on Topic Records Hannah & Ben spent much of 2023 touring with the legendary Fairport Convention. Now, with their new album “In The Dark We Grow” and a live show line-up featuring the inimitable Jon Thorne (Lamb, James Yorkston) on Double Bass, Hannah & Ben hit the road for the first time with a band of their own. Already so well known for their moving live performances, this unique musical collaboration promises to be balm for weariest ears.

Since emerging in 2016, Hannah & Ben have been defying all conventions of style, genre and compartmentalisation. A touch of ‘Americana’, yet quintessentially English. Traditional, yet contemporary, with their individual writing style. Playful and instinctive, they make music with such panache and natural chemistry it makes perfect sense.

“Enchantingly beautiful music” –  The Mirror

Hannah Sanders has an alluring mystique and a voice of disarming purity that massages your senses. Ben Savage is a singular guitarist with a sound as distinctive as it is innovative. Together their harmonies and unique stage presence shimmer with an infectious passion and joy for the connection music offers.

“Bewitching harmonies, tasteful twin guitars and a dreamy quality that lingers long after the music ends.” –  Daily Express

Support Act: Bailey & Keely

Bailey & Keely met on the English session scene and instantly clicked over their love of pushing tunes beyond their limits. Radio 2 Folk Awards nominee and New Roots finalist Saul Bailey has performed solo supporting the likes of Leveret and John Kirkpatrick, played as part of the indie-folk band Glymjack, and worked as an accompanist. Royal Academy of Music alumnus Mitch Keely is a composer and multi-instrumentalist and has worked with talent from a diverse scope of genres and traditions both in the UK and abroad as a backer, composer, audio engineer, and producer.

Together, they form a new and unique musical force. They draw upon a joint history of Morris dance and traditional music, hauling it into the modern age with a sensitive irreverence.
