AWARD-winning trio Folk of Hands are to stage a concert in Blackburn Cathedral.
The historic building will become a live music venue as the trio - Steve Knightley, Phil Beer and Miranda Sykes - come to East Lancashire as part of their Sanctuary tour which will visit cathedrals around the UK.
Steve Knightley said: “In 2010 we played a few landmark cathedrals, and it just…worked. There’s something about the ambience, sanctity and rich history of a cathedral that lends itself perfectly to what we do. It’s going to be a really special tour.”
Show of Hands have won a number of BBC Radio Two Folk Awards including that for best live act.
They will be supported by Kirsty Merryn.
Show of Hands, Blackburn Cathedral, Thursday, November 2. Details from the box office at King George’s Hall, Blackburn on 0844 847 1664
