WITH a personal invitation from Billy Bragg to play Glastonbury, sessions on 6 Music and Radio 2, a five star live review and feature in The Guardian, a MOJO Folk Album of the Year award for groundbreaking album The Hum, and a nomination for ‘Best Duo’ in this year’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards; O’Hooley and Tidow are regarded as lionhearted trailblazers of contemporary music and songwriting.
Having the originality and skill to invite comparison with the most celebrated harmony duos, from early Simon and Garfunkel to the iconic Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Belinda and Heidi’s powerful, deeply moving, and at times spine-tingling performances are infused with an honesty and empathy that will disarm even the hardest of heart.
O'Hooley and Tidow play Bristol's Folk House on March 6, when they team up with two more of the British folk scene’s finest, most formidable and forthright female acts take to the stage to celebrate International Women’s Day. They will be joined by the enchanting BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Finalists Lady Maisery and the irrepressible Leicester songwriter, activist and performer Grace Petrie.
This is a rare opportunity to experience these thought provoking, heartfelt, entertaining and enthralling women in one, unrepeatable performance. For more details see www.folkhousemusic.com
