A HAWK AND A HACKSAW

Fresh from supporting Portishead on the Portuguese, Italian and UK legs of their European tour, and prior to their ATP show, we’re delighted to welcome back old friends A Hawk And A Hacksaw.

The regular duo of Jeremy Barnes (ex Neutral Milk Hotel) and Heather Trost will be joined by Chris Hladowski from Scatter and Nalle (bouzouki/clarinet/bratch). The group will be performing their singular synthesis of eastern and western folk music, gypsy song, Klezmer and Mexican fanfare, taking inspiration from the last century and beyond.

“uplifting, bucolic balladry” Observer Music Monthly
“A resonant stew: A Hawk And A Hacksaw sum up what’s most attractive in east European music” The Saturday Telegraph
"A set glorying in its sensual exoticism" Mojo
“ambitious, ethnically rich… suffused with Eastern flavours” Uncut

BENJAMIN WETHERILL

With a coward-esque warble and a precise and deliberate manner, Benjamin Wetherill cuts an unusual figure amongst his song-writing contemporaries, performing a romantic blend of darkened, spidery arch-folk and pre-war-swoon material.

From folk crowds to indie and experimental audiences, over the past four years Benjamin has wooed listeners and made an ineffable impression on the UK underground music scene through a constant performance schedule and numerous, independently released recordings.

"a jack-in-the-box, a faberge gem"

Given the band, kind of redundant to say it was a great night. It was always going to be so! Loved the 'unplugged' encore, too.

that certainly was a WoW of a night & thanks to those folks that travelled from Dundee, Montrose, out of town & all those who made the effort to go to an inspiting event on a Monday night. All the artists were wowed by the genuine warmth of their reception.

A Hawk and a Hacksaw were magnificent last night. Hope they return again soon. Thanks to them and to IMP for another fine night's entertainment.
