O'hooley & Tidow So Long For Now

After 15 years of performing together, eight studio albums, four BBC Folk Award nominations, composing Gentleman Jack as the BBC/HBO drama theme tune and hundreds of venues and festivals across the UK and Europe, the much loved Yorkshire folk duo of Belinda OHooley & Heidi Tidow have made the momentous decision to say farewell for now in order to explore other adventures that are beckoning to them.To help their incredibly loving and loyal audiences process this news, they are embarking upon one last tour of all their favourite venues from over the years.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. 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.
