Much loved Yorkshire folk duo Belinda O’Hooley and Heidi Tidow have been propelled into newfound fame for penning the theme tune to Sally Wainwright’s hit BBC1/HBO drama ‘Gentleman Jack’, earning them global admiration and even an acting role for
Belinda on the iconic TV drama Happy Valley.
Belinda and Heidi’s boundless songwriting has been described by The Guardian as
‘exceptional’ and The Independent as ‘defiant, robust, northern, poetical, political folk music for the times we live in.’ Their first full studio album in seven years; ‘Cloudheads’ delves into the mindscapes, passions and inner worlds of two highly individual, autistic women; Belinda and Heidi. Moving, melodic, dramatic and tender, from stories of parenthood, the
call of a song thrush, to a portrait of the last days of a touching relationship between their neighbour Matthew and his beloved Alsatian, Ted, and even a collaboration with
Gentleman Jack herself, Suranne Jones on ‘The Ballad of Anne and Ann’, they explore,
consider and connect subjects and stories in a distinctive, inventive and memorable way.
Having the originality and skill to invite comparison with the most celebrated harmony duos, 6 Music’s Tom Robinson says ‘They sing together in the way families do. Normally, you only get that closeness in the voices with family bands like The Coppers or The Watersons.’
‘I have just listened to your track, ‘Beryl’, with tears in my eyes! It’s beautiful and brilliant.’ Maxine Peake
Nominated four times for BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ‘Best Duo’. * * * * * The Guardian
‘Brave, beautiful and full of love.’ Martin Simpson
‘Insightful, determinedly left-field angles on the human experience.’ * * * * MOJO Folk Album of the Month
'Have Belinda and Heidi done it again? Certainly.’
This concert is likely to sell out, so do book early to avoid disappointment.
The venue is fully wheelchair accessible.
