Proper HMCD19 music/sound recording CD Folk Show Of Hands

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.

This year they were nominated as both 'Best Group' and 'Best Live Act' at the Radio 2 Folk Awards. "Country Life" is their most ambitious and exciting project to date. The keenly awaited new studio album of 13 original songs includes a bonus 'enhanced CD' featuring the promotional video for the title track and footage of Show of Hands live at the Royal Albert Hall. This in a smartly packaged, eight-fold digipack with a 12 page illustrated lyric booklet.
