About

Award-winning folk singer Heidi Talbot blends Irish roots with transatlantic flair in an evening of timeless songs and intimate performance.

Over two decades, she’s toured worldwide and recorded with artists from Mark Knopfler to Eddi Reader. On this tour, Heidi is joined by multi-instrumentalist Toby Shaer, singing songs new and old with a dash of humour and a good measure of storytelling. A night not to be missed!
