THE Met, in Bury, will welcome multi BBC Folk Award-winners Chris Wood and Andy Cutting on October 16.
Chris is an uncompromising writer whose music reveals his love for the unofficial history of the English speaking people.
With gentle intelligence he weaves the tradition with his own contemporary parables.
His writing has been said to share the same timeless quality as Richard Thompson at his best.
Andy is a rarity. A musician’s musician (BBC Radio 2 Folk Best Musician 2009) and a soulful and technically outstanding melodeon practitioner with an ear for a fine tune.
Many of his tunes have been purloined along the way: some considered contemporary classics on the folk scene.
Together, they have become one of the most influential, and enduring, duos on the scene; paving the way for the explosion of many of today’s thrusting young newcomers.
* Chris Wood and Andy Cutting play the Met, Bury, on Saturday, October 16. Tickets for the event are £15 and the show starts at 8pm. To book, visit themet.biz or ring 0161 761 2216.
