About the Event

In the space of just a few years, Miranda Sykes & Rex Preston have emerged to become one of the most sought after duos on the English folk & roots scene.

The striking combination of the flame headed double bass player & virtuoso mandolin player create music that Folk Roots say is “A musical partnership made in heaven. Scintillating, sensitive and brilliant!”

Well known for the last 9 years as a central component of Show of Hands, Miranda has an exquisite and spine-tingling voice, whilst Rex, with his exuberant and flamboyant playing style, has built a reputation as one of the finest mandolin players in the UK. With Show of Hands off the road till festival season, the duo are embarking on an extensive tour of the British Isles supporting their arresting album “Sing A Full Song” and then will see the exciting launch of their new album.

With Special Guest Grant Gordy

Gordy was drawn to the guitar early on as a means of personal expression and intellectual curiosity. During his 20s Gordy fervently pursued guitar knowledge in nearly all genres. This versatility gives Grant the ability to fit into any number of musical ensembles. Gordy’s diverse musical gifts make him the ideal all-around guitarist.
