O'Hooley and Tidow with The Gary Stewart Band

O'Hooley and Tidow
Belinda has played piano for a number of folk acts including Nic Jones, Jackie Oates and (with Heidi) contributed to albums by Lucy Ward and Chumbawamba. They are also both activists for the LGBT community and as such, write for various publications including Shout! Their debut album Silent June was released in February 2010 on the No Masters label to widespread critical acclaim. Neil Spencer at The Observer described it as “Striking and refreshingly ambitious, a bold, unsettling debut”. Three tours and a string of summer festivals followed. They have garnered a reputation for honest, heart-breaking and at times, humorous performances; Julian May at Songlines Magazine describing their live show as “Mightily impressive”. The duo’s beautifully unusual songs touch on everything from dark folk tales, ecology and cross-dressing historical figures through to the invisibility of the elderly and the global economy. Their new album The Fragile, released in February 2012, sees them touring the country with their irresistible blend of striking arrangements, sublime harmonies and cheeky Northern banter.



The Gary Stewart Band
Gary Stewart is a Scottish singer/songwriter who has carved out a strong fan-base in his adopted home of Leeds and around the U.K. with songs about paranoia,love and prostitution.
