Folk/roots duo Miranda Sykes and Rex Preston will be stopping off to play a date at Burnetts Hill Chapel, Martletwy, as part of their new album tour.

The gig will take place on Wednesday, March 23, at 7.30 pm, as part of the ‘The Watchmaker’s Wife’ album tour which was released last month.

Well known for the last 11 years as a central component of Show of Hands, Miranda has an exquisite and spine-tingling voice, while Rex, with his exuberant and flamboyant playing style, has built a reputation as one of the finest mandolin players in the UK.

The rare fusion of double bass and mandolin makes for one of the most exciting and powerful pairings on the acoustic roots scene.

Miranda and Rex interweave lively original material with timeless, well chosen covers of both contemporary and traditional songs.

Their backgrounds, as well as skilful instrumentation and warm engaging vocals, have shaped their unique sound.

Tickets are £10. Contact 01646 621530 for details or visit the website www.burnettshill.co.uk
