Live at the Globe: Andy Skellam/Baba Yaga's Consort/Hollowbody
A night of musical musing fresh from Bristol's alt-folk scene, with Andy Skellam, Hollowbody and Baba Yaga's Consort. Andy's beautiful guitar craftsmanship is reminiscent of Nick Drake and Bert Jansch, and is wonderfully supported by Baba Yaga's Consort, who in turn are known for their musical sorcery with delicate harmonies and tribal rhythms. And not to forget the wonderful Hollowbody, whose layabout country folk music was described by Uncut magazine as "Charmingly eccentric finger-picked songs that burrow into your head." A night not to be missed
