CRITICALLY acclaimed folk duo O’Hooley & Tidow are performing at Cotleigh Brewery in Wiveliscombe on Friday.

Their forthcoming new album Shadows, released this summer, is the follow up

to ground-breaking album The Hum,

which earned them a place in Mojo’s Top Ten Folk Albums of 2014 and a nomination for Best Duo in last year’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Belinda and Heidi’s powerful, deeply moving and soulful performances are said to be infused with an honesty and empathy that will disarm the hardest of hearts.

Tom Robinson, of 6 Music, said they were ‘in the leading ranks of the new wave of folk music aristocracy’ and Mojo said they are regarded as ‘one of British folk’s mightiest combinations’.

They have also had sessions on 6 Music and Radio 2 and have received a five-star live review and feature in The Guardian.
