An Evening with Chumbawamba and O'Hooley & Tidow @ P

What’s happening

Chumbawamba take to the stage once more to celebrate the release of their new album ABCDEFG. The theme of the album is music — that volatile stuff which both the band and their audience have shared for as long as they can remember. Armed with acoustic guitars, accordion and trumpet, five-part harmonies, a bucketful of attitude, the band are touring to promote this gem.

They are joined on the tour by fellow No Masters artists O’Hooley & Tidow; dapper-suited gentlewomen with a wryly observant, melancholic and sometimes uncomfortable take on life. The pair create their very own brand of contemporary folk song, with stark and beautiful piano playing that some will recognise from Belinda O’Hooley’s time as pianist with the Unthanks. O’Hooley & Tidow will be playing songs from their new album, Silent June.
