ALBERT HALL-BOUND KNIGHTLEY HEADS TO NOTTINGHAM WITH
SOLO SPRING TOUR
Show of Hands’ inspired frontman Steve Knightley, hailed as one of England’s finest songwriters, will bring his 22-date solo tour to Nottingham next month.
Just weeks before his fourth Royal Albert Hall appearance with Show of Hands bandmate Phil Beer on Easter Saturday, Steve can be seen at Papplewick & Linby Village Hall, near Hucknall – a gig staged by Farnsfield Acoustic. (Saturday, February 11).
Devon-based multi award winner Steve is increasingly carving a successful solo career alongside Show of Hands and the tour offers an opportunity to witness first hand his inimitable one-man showmanship. Tickets for the 8pm show, price £16, are available on 01623 870-668 or 01623-794700 or online at www.farnsfieldacoustic.com
His special guests will be fellow Devon musicians Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, the innovative and distinct young songwriting duo who are making waves on the roots scene. Says Steve: “Phil and Hannah play songs and tunes that are textured, hypnotic and utterly captivating. Phil is a master craftsman on the slide-guitar and harmonica and has a fine, clear voice -he is one of the most extraordinary musicians around."
Exeter-based Knightley, a brilliantly savvy wordsmith and musician, will next year celebrate 20 years of his phenomenal professional partnership with multi instrumental wizard Phil Beer when Show of Hands play the Royal Albert Hall for an incredible fourth time (April 7).
Steve writes most of the material for Show of Hands including. A skilled musician, he also plays numerous instruments from guitar to mandocello and South American cuatro. See Steve performing his brilliant Tall Ship Story here www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnvEmFqraS4
