Show of Hands - are without a doubt one of the strongest current forces in acoustic music.

An alchemist couldn’t have come up with a more potent, magical mix than that of Phil Beer, who can, as The Scotsman observed, “play nearly every stringed instrument known to man” and the inspired Steve Knightley, described by Mike Harding at BBC Radio 2’s 2007 Folk Awards as “one of England’s greatest singer songwriters”.

2007 was a milestone year for England’s most popular roots duo – notching up a third sell out gig at the Royal Albert Hall; nominated for Best Duo and Best Original Song (for Roots) at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards; headlining at some 20 major UK festivals from Glastonbury to Cambridge and being invited to support Peter Gabriel at the Eden Project; embarking on solo tours and a German tour and then back home in the UK for two autumn/winter tours.

Next year sees the Devon based group undertaking a string of high profile festival appearances across the UK, Europe and Canada including a first visit to the Plymouth Folk Festival on Friday 9th May 2008
