For over 30 years Boo Hewerdine has been considered one of the UK’s finest singer-songwriters. As lead singer of seminal band, The Bible through to his subsequent solo work and long-time collaboration with the incredible Eddi Reader he has become something of a national treasure. He is in demand as a writer, producer and performer. Over a hundred of his songs have been covered by the likes of KD Lang, Kris Drever, Chris Difford, Heidi Talbot and Hannah Rarity. His album ‘Before’ was recorded with supreme Danish multi- instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunggren. It garnered multiple five star reviews.
Since then he has released a lockdown EP, 'Singularities' and in 2022 a brand new album 'Understudy' released on Reveal Records. On this tour he will be singing songs from his new album and his extraordinary back catalogue. A naturally gifted raconteur his gigs are always a total joy.
Luke James Williams is an indie-folk singer-songwriter from Cambridgeshire, UK. Releasing his debut EP 'Drove' in November 2018, Luke gained huge support from BBC6 Music DJ Tom Robinson who made 'Still In Bed' his 6 Music Recommends Track Of The Week in April 2019, later naming it his Track Of The Year So Far in July. The song was also played across the station by Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and Tom Ravenscroft.
In July 2022, Luke released his "outstanding" (Folk Radio) debut album, 'Our Blood Is Red'. As well as picking up rave reviews from some of the biggest sites & publications on the indie & folk scenes, Bandcamp made the album one of their 'New & Notable' releases which attracted new followers from all four corners of the globe. After performing at Cambridge Folk Festival, Autumn '22 saw him head out on his first UK headline tour. He is currently working on his second full-length album.
Drawing on a wide range of musical influences Luke has crafted a unique sound, painting pictures with words & singing them in his own distinctly English voice.
