Off The Beaten Tracks 25 March 2024

A show dedicated to the folk duo Show of Hands who are in the middle on a lengthy farewell tour which took in the Victoria Hall in Settle on the 17th of March. I have seen them a number of times, including several gigs in Lancaster at the University when promoter Image Acoustic were bringing folk artists to the Lancaster and Morecambe area. I also saw them on my birthday one year at the Folk By The Oak festival when, unbeknownst to me, my wife had spoken to Steve Knightley and asked him to wish me a happy birthday during their set.

This playlist also includes various people who SoH brought along as support acts including Martyn Joseph who we subsequently saw headline his Pipefest one day festival here in Lancaster. Stephen Fearing and Hannah & Ben were also on the bill that day.
