Duo Belshazzar’s Feast start with traditional English music, add a touch of classical and jazz, throw in a bit of pop and music hall and top it off wry humour for a unique live experience that has made them one of the most popular duos in folk music.
Now in their 21st year together, the duo comprises Paul Sartin and Paul Hutchinson.
Paul Sartin was a member of the multi-BBC Radio 2 Award-winning big band Bellowhead, and of Faustus.
Consultant and director of the Andover Museum Loft Singers, he is author, editor of music publications and a BASCA-nominated composer whose commissions include works for the Central School of Speech and Drama, the Choir of Somerville College, Oxford, Streetwise Opera, and most recently, the BBC Radio 4 series Playing the Skyline.
Paul Hutchinson’s love of fusion music originates from his days in the renowned Celtic jazzers, Hoover the Dog. He is resident tutor at Cecil Sharp House, Halsway Manor, Benslow Music Centre and Marlborough College.
Belshazzar’s Feast are regulars at folk festivals across the summer and tour a popular annual Christmas show of seasonal songs and tunes.
They will be on stage at The Witham, Barnard Castle, on Saturday, December 3.
The show starts at 8pm and tickets are £14 in advance, £16 on the door.
