Show Of Hands are England’s most successful acoustic roots duo - Steve Knightley and Phil Beer. Their widespread appeal is based on the combined power of Steve’s original songs, the quality of their vocals and harmonies, and their multi-instrumental virtuosity. Their performances feature guitars, mandocello, fiddle, cuatro, viola and concertina.
Packing venues from the smallest village hall to the Royal Albert Hall in London, the duo continue to produce original music popular the world over.
Steve Knightley worked through a bad cold to lead Show of Hands through another inspiring and crowd-pleasing evening. The range of music was impressive, with Phil Beers musicianship well to the fore. Miranda Sykes adds an additional dimension to the group. Excellent value! The only disappointment was the venue - slow admission process, uncomfortable seating and poor views of the stage.
