Hailing from Lancashire, Phillip Henry is one of the UK's best slide guitarists and harmonica players. Over the past decade he has immersed himself in the music of the British Isles, America's deep south and Indian classical music. Specialising in lap slide techniques, his masterful Dobro playing draws together these diverse influences to create a unique and utterly captivating voice. His innovative harmonica style combines country blues and folk styles with beat-boxing resulting in a jaw dropping, contemporary sound. 

Hannah Martin is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Devon. Writing on fiddle, viola and banjo, and drawing on the traditions of the British Isles, she was selected to be part of the National Theatre's War Horse School, and also involved in The Nursery Rhyme Project, exploring one of our oldest oral traditions. 

In 2014, the BBC awarded them "Best Folk Duo" for their combined instrumental virtuosity and genre-bending material which tells tales of history, myth and legend. March/April 2016 will be their first appearance in Australia, releasing their new album ‘Watershed’.
